Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Transport (Wales) Bill.
Transport (Wales) Bill
I return to the hon. Gentleman’s point about the phrase ““as soon as practicable””, which looks like a get-out clause. Does he agree that it seems that the Government have not made up their mind about whether the provisions will be compulsory or advisory? If there is no compulsion, let us be honest and say that they are advisory. It would be helpful if the Minister clarified that either now or in his winding-up speech.
