Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (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

: I should like to underline the point that my hon. Friend is making. Is there not a worrying inconsistency in part 1 of schedule 5, where there is one line of text for most services, but some 40 lines for the Assembly powers? Does not that give the Executive of the Westminster Parliament huge flexibility, and therefore inordinate power, to determine at a later date, beyond the scrutiny of this Parliament, what powers are given to the Assembly?
