Proceeding contribution from Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) 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 oppose the amendments, as I do not believe that the step change contained in part 3 justifies a referendum. Nevertheless, I agree that the referendum provided for in relation to part 4 is warranted, and I would be happy for that to be called. I agree with the hon. Member for Chesham and Amersham (Mrs. Gillan), however, about the correspondence between Lord Dahrendorf and Lord Holme and the Secretary of State. I have also seen copies of letters placed in the Library dated 12 and 13 January, which are, to put it mildly, strident. Whatever has been going on, her call to see a copy of the Secretary of State’s response is well made.
