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
The hon. Gentleman used the term ““gerrymandering””, and the shadow Secretary of State for Wales talked about ““rigging””. My understanding of gerrymandering is that it involves clear political gain for the party that undertakes it. What is the political gain for the Labour party from the changes? The hon. Gentleman must produce some evidence if he wishes to use such strong terminology.
