Proceeding contribution from Huw Irranca-Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Further Education and Training Bill [Lords].


Further Education and Training Bill [Lords]

I will seek to provide clarification on that point later. However, I can now offer further clarification on the matter raised by my right hon. Friend the Member for Torfaen (Mr. Murphy). The Secretary of State for Wales retains their position as Privy Councillor on non-devolved issues—it is vital to put that on record—but the First Minister is Privy Councillor on devolved issues. Although not many people will have paid attention to the procedures in schedule 7 to the Government of Wales Act 2006—it was discussed yesterday in Committee—that delineate those roles, it is very important to understand the two different Privy Councillor roles.
