Proceeding contribution from Nick Ainger (Labour) 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 do not wish to confuse my hon. Friend, but we need to be clear about what we are calling draft orders. Preliminary draft orders—the first draft, in effect—would undergo pre-legislative scrutiny in the same way as draft Bills, such as the Transport (Wales) Bill. We would have to keep calling the Measure a draft Order in Council until it was agreed to and thus became an Order in Council. I assure my hon. Friend that the preliminary drafts will come before the House for pre-legislative scrutiny every time.
