Reform’s only Senedd member faces a two-week suspension over offensive comments she made in a WhatsApp chat.
In August 2023 Laura Anne Jones used a racial slur to describe Chinese people. She has since apologised.
Recommending the sanction, in a report leaked to Wales, the Senedd’s standards committee said “inappropriate and offensive comments have no place in our Senedd or society more widely”.
Jones was cleared of complaints relating to making false expenses claims and unfair dismissal. A Reform spokesman said Jones would respond when the report is officially published.
