Proceeding contribution from Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.

Government of Wales Bill

I support amendment No. 174. The hon. Member for Beaconsfield (Mr. Grieve) is on to a good point. I cannot imagine any circumstances in which an Assembly Measure should not be produced bilingually. It would be frankly unreasonable to expect all the paperwork generated by the Assembly to be bilingual, but an Assembly Measure, which will be akin to a parliamentary Bill, should be published in both languages. I fully support the hon. Gentleman and add my voice to his call for an explanation of the circumstances that would justify such an exemption.
