Proceeding contribution from Lord Crickhowell (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 19 April 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.

Government of Wales Bill

I shall make a very brief point to round off the debate. Again, I turn to the Explanatory Notes. I find to my amusement and greater edification that they state:"““Clause 29 provides a formula for ensuring political balance in the composition of committees. This will (unless disapplied by resolution supported by at least two-thirds of those voting) apply to the Audit Committee as to any other committee””." So that is the fallback position. The formula is to apply; it is to apply in this case unless two-thirds of those voting decide that it is not to apply.
