Proceeding contribution from Lord Elystan-Morgan (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 6 June 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.
Government of Wales Bill
For once, I find myself in support of what the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, said. All the subsection does is to set out the golden rule of law as far as statutory interpretation is concerned. If the ordinary grammatical meaning of the words is unambiguous, that is the interpretation. If there is ambiguity, one is entitled to look further afield and the boundaries of doing so are set out in the subsection with which we are dealing. It adds nothing to the golden rule of statutory interpretation, and it detracts nothing from it, as I understand it.
