Tory peer criticises Welsh leader’s abolish Senedd poll

Responding to criticism on X, Mr Davies said: “We’re just keen to find out people’s views. It’s important to find out what people think.”

Lord Bourne also questioned why Mr Davies had raised an issue of the availability of non halal food in Welsh schools, prompting the Welsh Tory leader to be accused of engaging in “Islamophobic race-baiting” by the Muslim Council of Wales.

Lord Bourne said: “We do have to make clear that we’re a one nation party.”

In response, Mr Davies said: “Welsh Conservatives stand against all forms of racism, including anti-Muslim hatred.

“Representations from across Wales have been made to me about the availability of non-halal meat in schools.

“These are legitimate queries and I make no apologies for taking them forward.

“It is important to have these discussions in a measured way and we will continue to do so.”
