Proceeding contribution from Nigel Evans (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
: The hon. Gentleman sets a dangerous precedent with his argument. Does he not appreciate that even at the last general election the Labour party lost to the Conservatives as a percentage of the vote? The valid point was made by the right hon. Member for Swansea, West (Mr. Williams) that resentment will grow in England because Scotland has a Parliament and Wales has an Assembly, now with increased powers. The only part of the UK that has been totally ignored is England.
