Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 March 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Welsh Affairs.


Welsh Affairs

I am sure that the hon. Lady will approve of his remarks. He said:"““it is unrealistic to expect us to win an overall majority. In these circumstances, we and other non-Labour parties should be prepared to be pragmatic and work with others to achieve an agreed programme.””" Just as we heard earlier the voice of the Welsh Nationalist leader in the Assembly, so we hear from the Welsh Conservative leader a prediction of his intention to form a coalition against Welsh Labour if it does not secure a majority. That is the choice for the people of Wales. The Leader of the Opposition, the right hon. Member for Witney (Mr. Cameron), far from denouncing that unholy alliance with the separatists, has said that he would"““let Nick Bourne and his team decide””." The leader of the Welsh Conservatives is preparing to align his party with separatists and nationalists in Wales, which is a significant move.
