Government of Wales Bill

I suspect that I may not have spent as much time on this as I should have, in the hope that we would make some progress after yesterday’s quite slow progress. There is an important issue, because it is far from clear—the Minister will appreciate this—to what extent the Order in Council will give an indication to Members of this House of what in reality will be in the Measure. I appreciate that there is a difficulty. The Measure has to be fleshed out by the Assembly and that cannot be done here, but how will reassurance be provided to Members of this House that they are not writing a blank cheque?
