Proceeding contribution from David Jones (Conservative) 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
The Minister has conceded that what is being handed over to the Assembly, on a case-by-case basis—as he puts it—is primary legislative competence. That being the case, can he tell the Committee why he does not have enough faith in the people of Wales to put these proposals before them in a referendum? I suggest that the answer is simple, and it is because he knows—as the Secretary of State has conceded—that the Government would lose such a referendum.
