Government of Wales Bill

My Lords, the process of devolution is subject to veto by the Secretary of State in almost every part of the Bill, and even if the Welsh Assembly decides by a substantial majority that it is time to go to full legislative devolution, the Secretary of State will stop it unless he is absolutely certain that he will get the result he wants.
