Government of Wales Bill

My Lords, I am most grateful for the support expressed for this amendment. On Question, Motion agreed to. 17: Clause 94, page 51, line 42, at end insert ““, provided that such an Order is not to the detriment of those who have either benefited from or acted in reliance upon the state of the law before the retrospective Order is made”” 21: Clause 149, page 82, line 14, at end insert ““, provided that such an Order is not to the detriment of those who have either benefited from or acted in reliance upon the state of the law before the retrospective Order is made”” 22: Clause 150, page 82, line 40, at end insert ““, provided that such an Order is not to the detriment of those who have either benefited from or acted in reliance upon the state of the law before the retrospective Order is made”” The Commons disagree to these amendments for the following reason- 22A: Because it is desirable that an Order in Council under Clause 150 should be able to include any provision having retrospective effect which appears appropriate
