Proceeding contribution from Ian Lucas (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

Does my right hon. Friend agree that one of the great successes of the devolution settlement since 2001 has been the development of consideration of legislation by means of pre-legislative scrutiny through joint committees of the Assembly and the House of Commons? We have heard no call from the Conservatives previously for a referendum to seek the consent of the people of Wales to the procedure that already operates.
