Proceeding contribution from Lord Rowlands (Labour) 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 challenge the noble Lord with some trepidation, because he is obviously experienced and knowledgeable in this matter, but I do not think he is right. Surely, the Orders in Council will give the Assembly legislative competence under an existing field. The mock order states:"““Part 1 of Schedule 5 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 is amended by inserting under ““Field 14: public administration””—" and then follows the ombudsman. It does not extend that field, it allows legislative competence to occur within that field and, therefore, to be delivered through an Assembly measure.
