Government of Wales Bill

I am trying to set out the practical process that would be gone through to ensure, as the hon. Gentleman says, that retrospective changes to the original Assembly Measure are made. For that to happen, there has to be another Order in Council. The issues will be debated here, just as we would discuss an ordinary Order in Council. I hope that the hon. Member for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale accepts my reassurance that these provisions are likely to be very rarely used. They are for clarification and certainly not because it is envisaged that any new powers would be given to the original Assembly Measure. I hope that he will therefore withdraw his amendment.
