Government of Wales Bill

May I take the Minister back to clause 100(1)(b), which deals with water resources? What would happen if the National Assembly wanted to pass a measure to outlaw any further drownings of valleys because it believed that water needed to be conserved and that a certain percentage of water was being wasted through leaking pipes every day of the year? Could the Secretary of State say, ““No, we are not having that, because we might need compulsorily to acquire land to drown in the future.”” I believe that Parliament would prevail in those circumstances and that the voice of the Assembly would be drowned.
