Government of Wales Bill

I, too, welcome the hon. Member for Chesham and Amersham (Mrs. Gillan) to her new position. I also want to pass on my condolences to the families of Merlyn Rees and Tony Banks. It has been a long and interesting debate, to which I believe I am the 27th contributor. We have learned something from the position of the Tory party: it is even more divided than it was on devolution. The comments made by the hon. Member for Monmouth (David T.C. Davies) do not seem to be in tune with those of his new leader. As there have been so many contributions, I am sure that hon. Members will forgive me if I do not address every one that has been made. Some big issues have been raised and I will address those.
