Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) 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
I believe that all Assembly Members are equal and should be regarded equally. I also believe that all Members of this House should be regarded as equal—a position that the hon. Gentleman does not entirely share. If Assembly Members have not been told off, they should be told off. It is simple enough: if an Assembly Member seeks to portray themselves as the constituency Member for the Rhondda, when they were not elected as such, it is a deception that taxpayers’ money should not be allowed to be spent on perpetuating. It is a form of fraud and it should be stopped.
