Commenting on his exchange in the Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee with the Labour Sports Minister, Welsh Conservative Shadow Sports Minister, Tom Giffard MS said:
“I asked the Minister why she claimed that there was nothing she could do to tackle the culture of misogyny in the WRU, given that the organisation is in receipt of taxpayer funds.
“If the Labour Government could attach strings to the Economic Resilience Fund to ensure that businesses in receipt of Covid support be unionised at a time of national crisis, why could the Labour Government not apply conditions to any of the grants or loans to the WRU?
“It is clear to me that more could have been done and that there are lessons to be learned as to how the Labour Government can better use public money, given there is evidence to suggest that they have been aware of misogyny allegations in the WRU for some time.”
