candidate, after being told it Labour are looking | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
for a new candidate to replace the MP Ann Clwyd, who's retiring | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
at next year's general election. Ann Clwyd was elected as Labour MP | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
for the Cynon Valley in 1984. At the time she was only the fourth | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
woman ever to hold a Welsh seat. As she prepares to stand down | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
Labour Party bosses want to replace But some members of the party | :00:42. | :00:44. | |

and argue they want to find the best We getting knows the need to extend | :00:50. | :01:04. | |
representation of women in parliament and elsewhere. What we | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
are unhappy about is the members have considered the alternatives, we | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
were told we would be consulted about the matter, and then our views | :01:13. | :01:13. | |

selected candidates in Aberconwy, Cardiff Central, Cardiff North, | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
Carmarthen West and South Swansea East have still to select | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
a candidate but they're also expected to be asked to choose | :01:21. | :01:25. | |

in politics is a good thing. If we leave it to chance or two open | :01:53. | :02:06. | |
list it never happens. If we bring in a system which most of us would | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
believe that is a quality, for women and men, because men have had a huge | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
share of all the seats in Wales. In a statement, | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
