There are three divisions of the Church in Wales governing body which voted

Women bishops will be allowed in the Church of Wales following a landmark yes vote.

Bishops within the Church tabled a bill calling for the change and which was finally accepted by its governing body after a previous vote in 2008 failed.

In England, the issue is due to be discussed again in November. Ireland and Scotland both allow female bishops.

Despite female bishops being allowed in Northern Ireland and Scotland, none have been elected yet.
