“Today, the Welsh Labour Government have taken a significant step forward for our democracy by giving a voice to 16 and 17-year-olds in next year’s Senedd election.
“With Votes at 16 now in Wales and Scotland but not in England and Northern Ireland, there is now a fundamental inequality of rights in this country.
“This situation is morally and politically unsustainable for the UK Government. It is time that 16 and 17-year-olds have equal rights across our country for all elections.”
