Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (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

Thank you, Sir Michael. We misunderstood the right hon. Gentleman’s intentions and thought he had finished, so I apologise to him. It seems strange to me that the right hon. Gentleman insists on a referendum in Wales and a consultation on STV for the Assembly, yet his Government introduced the same sort of proportional system for the election of Members of the European Parliament without any such consultation.
