Proceeding contribution from Lord Roberts of Conwy (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 am grateful to the Minister for that further clarification. I note that he views with some disfavour the possibility that the order—in other words, secondary legislation—might contain the question to be put in a referendum. I remind him, yet again, of what was said by the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee in paragraph 37:"““We draw to the attention of the House that it is unprecedented with a devolution referendum for the wording of the question, and of any statement preceding it, to be left to subordinate legislation””." I am sure that the Government have taken that point on board. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 81 and 82 not moved.] Clause 102 agreed to. Schedule 6 [Referendums on commencement of Assembly Act provisions]:
