Proceeding contribution from David TC Davies (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

Is it not the case that under our system members of the public have a chance to reject people? Under the system that the hon. Gentleman proposes, they will not have that chance but the Assembly Member may still pop up the next day. Should he not have the intellectual honesty to admit that the proposals set out in ““Llais Dros Gymru”” in the first place were incorrect? If he wants to do away with proportional representation altogether, he might be surprised at where the support for that comes from.
