Proceeding contribution from Lord Murphy of Torfaen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.


Government of Wales Bill

I agree with what the manifesto stated about these issues. The hon. Gentleman and I argued about this some months ago in this place. It is not relevant to what we are discussing. What is relevant is that the House of Lords debated the matter, made the arguments clear and voted accordingly. The matter has come back to the House of Commons and it is now up to Labour Members to honour those manifesto commitments and to ensure that what the people of Wales clearly voted for is honoured by the Government.
