The debate so far
Members have argued mainly about how Wales applies the Supreme Court ruling on sex in the Equality Act, and about the armed forces covenant and veterans. They have also debated the nation of sanctuary and who can access social housing. Other themes were violence against women and girls, including grooming gangs, disabled people's rights and race equality.
The main arguments
- Reform UK Members (Cristiana Emsley, Laura Anne Jones, Art Wright) and Natasha Asghar (Welsh Conservatives) say the Supreme Court ruling is clear and Wales is slow to act. Sioned Williams and Rhun ap Iorwerth (Plaid Cymru) say they respect it and are reviewing it, while trans people stay protected.
