Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (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

I am sorry, but no. I want to make some progress, so I cannot give way to the hon. Gentleman, who is another specialist in ringing rhetoric. I should also point out that he is a very able newcomer to the House. The problem with amendment No. 157 is that it would introduce a pre-emptive, Parliament Act-type procedure in respect of the referendum order. As the hon. Member for Carmarthen, East and Dinefwr will realise on serious reflection, we cannot introduce into a Government of Wales Bill an entirely new and unprecedented constitutional revolution in the relationship between the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
