Proceeding contribution from Lord Brennan of Canton (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

The hon. Gentleman is correct about that, as the law stands. The same candidate stood against the hon. Member for Cardiff, Central (Jenny Willott) and me in the general election last year, but under the Electoral Administration Bill, supported by the Conservative and the Liberal Democrat parties, the law that allows that to happen will be abolished.
