Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (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, of course I am not gainsaying the sovereignty of Parliament. In fact, as the noble Lord will recognise, in my opening remarks I said that the obligation is on the Secretary of State to lay the order before Parliament—the sovereign body—and not to be dictated to by the National Assembly, which would be the effect of the amendment. Under the amendment, the Secretary of State would be obliged to deliver the order within the timescale specified with no discretion.
