Government of Wales Bill

I will certainly consider that. The hon. Lady asks whether the seal will be the first Welsh seal. We think that it will be, but I will check and let her and the rest of the Committee know. Let me set out the position. As the Bill stands, the Welsh seal will be relevant only if we enact part 4 following a successful referendum to give the Assembly the power to enact Acts. The seal is relevant in the context of Royal Assent because clause 114(4) provides that Royal Assent is given only when letters patent under the Welsh seal are signed with Her Majesty’s own hand to signify her assent to a Bill. I do not know the answers to the hon. Lady’s questions about treaties and Members of Parliament, but I will write to her.
