Proceeding contribution from Lord Elystan-Morgan (Crossbench) 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
While appreciating that the Secretary of State is not acting as a mere dummy in this matter and that he has a role to play, would the Minister accept that that role is circumscribed and limited? In other words, the Secretary of State is entitled to refuse to lay that draft order before the House within 120 days and he must state the grounds for his refusal. Do Her Majesty’s Government envisage that such a refusal should be only for some grave and weighty reason and should never be part of the tactics of day-to-day politics? The matter should be very substantial.
