Proceeding contribution from Lord Rowlands (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 noble Lord cannot get away with that because his own amendment defines what the question will be. It will be whether the Welsh electorate supports the Assembly measure provisions. His own amendment defines what the Assembly measure provisions are: Clauses 92 to 101 of this Bill. The noble Lord cannot get away from how one would handle a referendum dealing with nine complicated clauses, which even some of us are grappling with, and then ask the poor Welsh electorate to try to determine it. There is a clear distinction between Part 3 and Part 4. I believe it is for us to grapple with Clauses 92 to 101 and, ultimately, for the electorate to decide, at some point in the future, whether they wish to proceed to Part 4.
