Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) 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 sense that the hon. Lady may wish to divide the House so, for the record, I wish to say that, for once, I was persuaded by the Minister’s argument. It is a judgment rather than a principle, but is she not being a little pedantic in pursuing her concerns? The Minister made a cogent argument about the Government’s intentions and, in my assessment, it would be useful, rather than harmful, to retain those provisions as drafted.
