Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 28 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.


Government of Wales Bill

My Lords, does the Minister accept that a devolution issue would be dealt with under Schedule 9? If there were a fundamental flaw in relation to the vires of the Assembly in passing a piece of legislation, it could be challenged either by the Counsel General or the Attorney-General, or it could be referred by the magistrates’ court or the High Court in the way set out in that schedule.
