A Welsh MP has quit his role as a ministerial aid so that he could vote against changes to sex education in Northern Ireland. Robin Millar , who is the Member of Parliament for Aberconwy said he “could not in good conscience” vote to introduce the changes.
The changes to the curriculum would see pupils past primary school taught about access to abortion services and prevention of early pregnancy. Mr Millar said he could not support the update while helping Welsh parents with similar issues.
The MP had been serving as Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to the Welsh Secretary, David TC Davies. He was amongst 20 Conservative MPs who voted against the measures. He quit before he voted against the government.
