Proceeding contribution from Hywel Francis (Labour) 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
Indeed, and that is a very important point. Those of us who experienced the wait to which the hon. Gentleman refers recall that it was a very long wait, whereas eight years is a relatively short time. My amendment would provide the clarity and certainty in respect of referendum procedures that my Committee emphasised is necessary. I ask Members to support it, and I urge the Secretary of State, as a supporter of democratic devolution, to reflect on these issues.
