Proceeding contribution from Cheryl Gillan (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

I am grateful to the Minister for giving way again; at least we are having a dialogue on the matter. If Ministers are going to act within the provisions of schedule 5 and the devolved powers, why does it not say that in the Bill? Why is the Minister, at this stage, giving Assembly Ministers the same level and breadth of powers as full Government Ministers in the UK? Surely this is another example of the devolution settlement being breached and broadened without people appreciating it.
