Proceeding contribution from Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) 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 Minister stops short. He says that the system has been used in Scotland to appoint Committee Chairs, but he did not go any further, obviously because it does not apply to the membership of Committees. That is the greatest problem that we have, and I was trying to concentrate on that earlier. Is he saying that his colleagues in the Scottish Parliament have done something wrong in some way by saying that they reject the d’Hondt system and that they are looking for a more equitable means to distribute Committee seats?
