Proceeding contribution from Lord Kingsland (Conservative) 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

I apologise if I used the word ““modification””. It is clear from my proposed amendment to Clause 94(2) that the governing words are, ““does not have effect””. I regard that ingredient in the clause as crucial to my argument. The Minister offered to write me a letter about my previous amendment; and I wonder whether he would kindly do so on this amendment because I am very anxious to know how wide the gap is between new fields and new ministerial functions. These two variables will determine the expansion of the powers of the Assembly. How will they work together both technically and politically? We do not know.
