Proceeding contribution from Lord Roberts of Conwy (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 am grateful to my noble friend for reminding me of what our noble friend Lord Forsyth said in that debate. This measure is, of course, very disadvantageous to the minority parties and means that they have to find far more candidates than would otherwise be the case.
