Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (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

Does my hon. Friend agree that that gives the lie to the argument that the Labour party has a mandate because of the general election? If it were so sure of its mandate because of the general election, would it not be happy to have a referendum? Is it not the case, in fact, that it knows perfectly well that the people of Wales did not vote on the issue at all at the general election?
