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

The point is that the Secretary of State can already prevent the Assembly’s proposals from being implemented in legislation. That position will not change and that relationship is at the core of today’s proposals, so as an argument for a referendum, the hon. Gentleman’s point is completely without merit.
