Government of Wales Bill

My Lords, I understand why the Minister is playing games with the amendments, but as we said we are coming from the principle that the only justification that we can see for a referendum is with regard to taxation and tax-bearing powers, and those are principles to which we adhere. The Minister can run rings around the concept. We wanted to make a statement of principle, we have made it, and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 103 [Proposal for referendum by Assembly]: [Amendments Nos. 66 to 68 not moved.] Clause 104 [Commencement of Assembly Act provisions]: [Amendment No. 69 not moved.] Clause 105 [Effect on Measures of commencement of Assembly Act provisions]: [Amendment No. 70 not moved.] Clause 106 [Acts of the Assembly]: [Amendment No. 71 not moved.] Clause 113 [Power to intervene in certain cases]: [Amendment No. 72 not moved.] Clause 114 [Royal Assent]: [Amendment No. 72A not moved.]
