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
I do not know the hon. Gentleman’s majority, but a victory is a victory under our democracy. If one wins the vote, one wins. The Welsh people voted, although, admittedly, the result was uncomfortably narrow, as I remember well. These repeated attacks—the hon. Member for Monmouth (David T.C. Davies) made one in his best Rottweiler fashion—on the verdict of the Welsh people show that the Welsh Conservatives have never accepted the devolution settlement.
