Proceeding contribution from David Mundell (Conservative) 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

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. On a major constitutional Bill, which the Secretary of State said would define the Government of Wales for a generation, it cannot be satisfactory that so much time for debate is lost, even giving regard to the Minister’s need to eat. If the programme motion had allowed us to move on to the next set of amendments, pressure that might be exerted on tomorrow’s business would automatically have been relieved. Large parts of a major constitutional Bill will now go unscrutinised.
