Proceeding contribution from Lord Prys-Davies (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [HL].


Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [HL]

The Government of Wales Act 1998 in no way affects the power of Parliament to legislate as it sees fit. It is my hope that, in the longer term, the Government may be persuaded to re-examine their attitude towards some of the amendments. There is one amendment on which I would be grateful for clarification, which my noble friend has rejected. I refer to Amendment No. 61, which would insert the words ““a voluntary organisation””. Can my noble friend confirm that, where a service for the elderly is contracted out to a voluntary organisation to undertake, that will not put the particular service beyond the reach of the commissioner?
