Government of Wales Bill

I am most grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. I take up the rather good example given by the noble Lord, Lord Rowlands, about the transport order. Like him, when I read the example, with a lot of stuff about local government, transport plans and so on, I did not have the faintest idea that it covered the possibility of financing air transport. If you were bringing a Bill before Parliament, the Bill would set out clearly that that was one of the things that you wanted to do. But as I understood the noble Lord, somehow Parliament in the pre-legislative scrutiny stage would have to discover the range of things that the Assembly might do without them being named. That would be difficult unless you had a very clear idea of what the Assembly measure was going to be. There may be an answer to that, but the more I think about the example given by the noble Lord, Lord Rowlands, the more puzzled I am about how Parliament is to find out exactly what the scope of the measure is.
