Will the Minister outline exactly when they first called for the Welsh Rugby Union's 2021 review into the women's game to be made public?
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip | Answered on 21/03/2023
I first called for the WRU’s review into the women’s game in Wales to be made public in a meeting with the WRU on 30 March 2022. I have repeated my call for the review to be published since then. Whilst I understand the WRU’s reasons for not publishing the report – to protect the anonymity of witnesses and to enable the review panel and witnesses to be honest and candid in their input – I do believe the best way forward is through transparency without disclosing the identity of individuals.
