Proceeding contribution from Cheryl Gillan (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 a fact that the Secretary of State is aware of the sleight of hand that he is pulling off? On 8 December, the date on which the Bill was published without any pre-legislative scrutiny, he said that the Bill would"““give the Assembly more powers, more opportunity and more scope to make decisions.””" If that is not increasing the competency of the Assembly, I do not know what is.
