Proceeding contribution from Baroness Noakes (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 sorry that the Minister did not feel able to respond to my noble friend Lord Crickhowell’s points. My noble friend took the issue that I raised in this amendment into a wider and more important arena. I do not think I heard the Minister give a comprehensive response to that. Instead we were given a rather minor example of how the power might be used and we were invited to say that what is good for Scotland might be good for Wales. I am not sure I am convinced by all of that. We will have to consider carefully what the Minister said before we decide what to do with this topic and before Report. I am also grateful for the support of the noble Lord, Lord Livsey. I will not detain the Committee tonight, because clearly time is moving on, but I am not entirely happy with the Minister’s response. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 96 not moved.] Clause 119 agreed to. Clause 120 agreed to. Clause 121 [Lending by Secretary of State]:
