Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary outline which public art works the Welsh Government believes should be removed due to cultural or moral objections?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
In March the Welsh Government published new guidance to help public bodies in Wales make well-informed decisions about existing and future commemorations in public spaces, and in doing so, contribute to our goal of an anti-racist Wales. The guidance assumes that decisions about public commemoration should be made locally, and it is essentially a tool for good decision-making. The guidance will not be mandatory. It is for public bodies themselves to decide how they use it.
