Proceeding contribution from Cheryl Gillan (Conservative) 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]
I understand that point, which prompts the question why there will not be a commissioner for England and Wales, because someone who lives 2 yd across the border in England will not have the same protection as their neighbour. I appreciate that the matter concerns devolution, but devolution does not have to act to the detriment of people on one side of the border. It would be interesting to know why the appointment of a commissioner for England was not considered.
