Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) 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 thank the hon. Gentleman for giving way, and I apologise to the hon. Lady for butting across her, as it were. I should like to help the hon. Gentleman, and possibly the hon. Lady, by saying that I made it clear earlier that the commissioner would be able to write to me or to the Under-Secretary of State for Wales, my hon. Friend the Member for Carmarthen, West and South Pembrokeshire (Nick Ainger). That is our job; as Secretary of State for Wales and Minister in the Wales Office, we are the gateway to the rest of Whitehall. That has long been an established practice, and it has been widely used by many independent bodies and individuals across Wales.
