Proceeding contribution from Lord Norton of Louth (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 3 May 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.
Government of Wales Bill
I did not intend to speak in this debate, but I feel I must respond to the noble Lord, Lord Elystan-Morgan. His argument that this is a form of subordinate legislation is fundamentally flawed. He is resting on the ground that this Parliament retains the absolute right to legislate for Wales. But that very right is retained in respect of Scotland, which would also make that subordinate legislation, therefore that completely undermines his argument.
