Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill (HL).
Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [Lords]
Surely the Secretary of State highlights the weaknesses of the Bill? The commissioner’s proposed powers will not allow that person to speak directly to Westminster Ministers on issues such as pensions, which are so important to the elderly in Wales. Our noble Friends tried to put that weakness right in the other place, and we will try to put it right in the House.
