Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (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
A number of Members have described the Committee stages of the Bill as boring. It has been anything but that. We have been united in being exciting this evening, but I have not heard such a farrago of fantasy from Opposition Members in a long time. Why? Because they want a special law for particular categories of candidate. They want people who have been rejected by the electorate to win—to have two bites at the cherry. People rejected by the voters could become winners. That point is at the heart of the amendment.
