Proceeding contribution from Lord Livsey of Talgarth (Liberal Democrat) 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]

moved Amendment No. 82:"Page 6, line 13, leave out subsection (2)." The noble Lord said: In this amendment I seek to delete Clause 9(2), which concerns the examination of cases. The subsection states that the commissioner’s powers do not extend,"““to a field in which the Assembly does not have functions””," or, in the case of paragraph (b),"““to give assistance in a case relating to a service which . . . is proposed to be, or has failed to be, provided outside Wales””." Clearly, I fully recognise that we are debating the non-devolved situation. I have made my points on that, as has the Minister, but I need to propose this amendment. I beg to move.
