Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) 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

Given that the Secretary of State has been celebrating the merits of devolution, how does he explain and justify clause 113, which gives him a power to intervene in certain cases with the introduction of secondary legislation? In those incidences, will such legislation be subject to the negative procedure or to its affirmative counterpart, and if it is the former, why?
