Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) 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

We are all agreed. The Conservative Party agrees that we all want to get to Part 4. The question is one of timing. This, although it is a very unsatisfactory mechanism, gives the people of Wales the chance to see the Assembly succeed, without having to go into questions of cost, the nature of the voting system, and other matters which will, in the short term, detract from the ultimate success of the Assembly. That is why I am prepared to go along with this.
