Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (Conservative) 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 have various problems with that observation. First, it is not true that the Liberal Democrats have always been in favour of devolution. When they managed to win an election in Britain as a whole, they were against it. They were happy not to have devolution when they thought that they could have power in the country as a whole. They became keen on devolution when they lost power, as devolution offered a different opportunity.
