Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) 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

The answer to the first question is yes and the answer to the second question is no. I think that the noble Lord will recognise why I am able to answer categorically. At this stage we are dealing with empowerments for the National Assembly that have been through the process—of which I know the noble Lord is not a great admirer—through Orders in Council, and the measures that the Assembly can take under those specific authorisations. That is why this provision relates to those measures within that framework.
