Proceeding contribution from Hywel Williams (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

My hon. Friend says that it is nonsense, and it clearly is convoluted nonsense. We have a system that could perhaps be fine-tuned in some ways, but I do not think that we should listen to the fears expressed by the Conservatives in particular. The Bill is something of a halfway house—it is slightly confused, and slightly confusing to some—but it represents a positive step towards what we consider to be the aim of this debate: proper powers for the Assembly.
