Proceeding contribution from David Mundell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.


Government of Wales Bill

The Labour Welsh Assembly Government had to take a degree of responsibility for their actions. Both the Scottish and Welsh institutions are governed by majority decisions, rather than by communal decisions of the entire body. The Welsh Affairs Committee has recognised that the addition of the word ““Executive”” would provide the new UK devolved settlement with a degree of coherence, so the Minister’s argument is unsatisfactory. I will not divide the House on this issue.
