Proceeding contribution from Lord Crickhowell (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.
Government of Wales Bill
My Lords, I thank my noble friend for giving way. Was the answer to the noble Lord, Lord Foulkes, not given quite clearly by my noble friend Lord Forsyth in the debate referred to? He pointed out, as had the Arbuthnott commission, that the proposal would almost certainly have the effect of weakening the quality of the candidates of the minority parties. Surely the one thing that we really need is a system that produces the strongest possible candidates for the Welsh Assembly.
