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 reinforce that point by saying that it adds further weight, if I may respectfully say so, to the arguments that I was advancing earlier about Clause 94(3), which refers to repealing primary and secondary legislation. The Order in Council under Clause 94 can only transfer vires. The Welsh Assembly may not decide to pass any Assembly measures under those transferred vires—to which I am very happy to have the nodding assent of the noble Lord, Lord Thomas of Gresford—and therefore there would be no disapplication of any existing law. In those circumstances, what on earth is Clause 94 doing in the place in the Bill where it is found?
