Proceeding contribution from Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) 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

The core point would be whether the Secretary of State acted reasonably in the circumstances. It is clear that the supreme court should not examine a policy area, and I take the hon. Gentleman’s point about the danger. I would have preferred the Bill to contain a more streamlined procedure and a normal reasonableness test.
