Mick Antoniw made the comment after opposition to the government's rollout of the default 20mph speed limit in Wales.
A minister in the Welsh government is set to be censured after he posted that Conservatives were 'happy' to see 'children killed'. He made the comments on the social media platform X, in response to the party's opposition to the 20mph rollout. The Welsh government changed the default speed limit in built-up areas in September last year. It recently announced it was carrying out a review and that some roads might be changed back later in the year.
Standards commissioner Douglas Bain found the comments were 'not only offensive but could bring the Senedd into disrepute'. The cross-party standards committee accepted that a breach of the members' code of conduct had occurred. But the committee noted that Mr Antoniw 'acted promptly, and undertook the necessary steps, to rectify this matter'.
