Proceeding contribution from Lord Rowlands (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 13 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.
Government of Wales Bill
My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Roberts, quoted the view of the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, that this is a centralising Bill that transfers powers to the Executive, not to democratic bodies. That is nonsense. The vast majority of the Bill gives enhanced legislative powers to a democratic Assembly in Wales. That is the burden and central thrust of the Bill. It is anything but centralising.
