Proceeding contribution from Lord Henley (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
The noble Lord seems to be saying that, with the two hurdles put in place, only one man or possibly woman—the Secretary of State—is wise enough to know exactly the moment that the referendum should be offered to the Welsh people. Was that the position that the Deputy Prime Minister was in when he offered a referendum to my colleagues in the north-east, which again was rejected by something like 4:1?
