Welsh Government finance minister has called for the power to make it easier for people to change their gender - and criticised the UK government for blocking Scotland's attempt to change the law.
Vaughan Gething was speaking after the UK government said it would use its power to block the Scottish Government's Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill from becoming law. It is the first time the UK government has used the power in 25 years. Nicola Sturgeon called it "an affront to democracy" but the UK government said it was acting because the Scottish plans conflicted with the UK-wide Equality Act for which it is responsible.
Mr Gething said that "anyone who believes in devolution" should be "concerned" about the UK government's intervention and said the Welsh Government would like the power to legislate on trans issues.
