Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill (HL).
Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [Lords]
The Minister knows that innovative Welsh legislation is sometimes imitated in England—I am thinking of the children’s commissioner. However, I am not entirely light-hearted, because one of my constituents was removed to a home in England, and there were accusations that it might have been under duress. I have found it difficult to take that issue forward, and, as I understand it, the Welsh commissioner for older people would not be able to intervene on behalf of a Welsh person in English home.
