Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) 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 Government are increasingly schizophrenic. They have introduced some incredibly complicated arrangements, such as the d’Hondt system, while saying that they want to keep things simple. Surely, the Minister must accept that, with something as important as the commission, the Government have a responsibility to ensure statutory cross-party representation. Of all things, the commission should be above party politics.
