Proceeding contribution from Albert Owen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.


Government of Wales Bill

When probing amendments suggesting that there is confusion about the electoral system were moved in Committee, the hon. Lady did not agree that such confusion exists, because it benefited her party to adopt that position. Now she is telling hon. Members that there is confusion, so which one is it? She has claimed that the system is somehow rigged towards the Labour party, and many Opposition Members have alleged that the system has been gerrymandered, but does she have any evidence on that point, because she has not produced any up to this point?
