Proceeding contribution from Baroness Laing of Elderslie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Work and Families Bill.


Work and Families Bill

I also realise that the amendment is technical, so I do not intend to speak for long. Devolution is complicated, so we can forgive the Government for not getting the drafting perfectly right from the beginning and thus having to table the amendment. It is much better for technical amendments to be considered on Report than for us to have to spend hours and hours upstairs considering statutory instruments to make devolution work. We all want devolution to work, so we welcome the amendment.
