Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Government of Wales Bill.


Government of Wales Bill

I am grateful for the hon. Gentleman’s intervention, because the amendments seem to have missed something. As he rightly says, if the amendments are passed, the Assembly will no longer be able to do certain aspects of its work in the same way. If we were debating solely amendments Nos. 161, 162 and 177 to 179, the Assembly would, if those amendments were passed, feel the pinch in terms of its current powers. That might not have been the intention, but I am pretty sure that it is the outcome.
