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

No I cannot, but I will write to the hon. Lady to let her know. I hope that I have been able to explain the procedure under which a new field would be added. It is clear that it will be for Parliament to decide—either through primary legislation or a transfer of functions order—as has been the case when other Executive responsibilities have been passed to the Assembly. The hon. Lady indicated that amendments Nos. 166 and 167 were probing amendments. I hope that she is happy with, and reassured by, my explanation of how the process will work and new fields added, and that she will thus withdraw the amendment.
