Proceeding contribution from Ian Lucas (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 did consider the length of time, because the amendment stipulates a length of time. However, it is optimistic. I am not wedded to it. I was conscious that I did not want an extended period of consultation because I did not want to delay the process if the decision had been made by the Assembly. On the other hand, it would be necessary for a consultation to take place over a period of time, and for that reason I included the 120 days.
