Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.
Government of Wales Bill
My hon. Friend is absolutely right about the crucial role of business and the private sector in Wales’s economic success. The Assembly—I know this because I have discussed it with the First Minister—will want to maintain the closest co-operation and consultation. There is in the legislation, as there was uniquely in the previous Act—I was responsible for accepting an amendment that resulted in the clause—a duty to consult business. That duty remains. If my hon. Friend wishes to make any detailed points about strengthening it, I shall look at them sympathetically.
