Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Government of Wales Bill.
Government of Wales Bill
Perhaps the right hon. Gentleman can explain his transformation on the road to Damascus on the subject of consultation. His party’s Government have displayed an utter and abject failure to consult on some profoundly important issues, stretching from—as one can predict—nuclear power, to reforms in the police service. Why does the right hon. Gentleman choose to defend this one constitutional issue as an appropriate one for wide consultation, when this Government repeatedly force their will on the Welsh people on a minority of the vote?
