Proceeding contribution from Lord Roberts of Conwy (Conservative) 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, I did not say that at all. As my noble friend Lord Crickhowell and others on our side have said, we would campaign for Part 3. The noble Lord knows that there is to be a referendum under Part 4. As Part 3 is barely a step to Part 4, we think that the referendum should be extended to Part 3. The new clause replicates Clause 102 which, with Schedule 6, provides for a referendum prior to the implementation of Part 4. In the event that the new clause was accepted by the Government, Schedule 6 would have to be technically amended, and if the Government are not prepared to do it, I will do it by Third Reading. I beg to move.
