Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) 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
The right hon. Gentleman will accept that the Liberal Democrats, and various other parties, have always favoured devolution as a way of giving the Welsh Assembly primary legislative powers. As he said, a referendum would consult only the Welsh people and not the English, even though the outcome affects them as much as the Welsh. That is why we believe that there should not be a referendum.
