Welsh Health Minister Eluned Morgan has had his driving license suspended for six months.
Ms Morgan received the ban for accumulating too many points on her driving license after speeding on a 30-mile road in Wrexham.
In a statement, she said she had pleaded guilty to speeding and accepted the court’s sentence.
“I’m not proud of that and I apologize unreservedly,” she said.
Ms Morgan, Labor Member of the Senedd for Central and West Wales, was disqualified outside Mold Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
