Proceeding contribution from Lord Cope of Berkeley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 28 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL].
Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]
I think the amendment is wrong. Given devolution, Welsh Ministers ought to be able to contribute to the decision and ought to have to agree to it. After all, it is a decision which is going to apply in Wales as well as in England on a matter which is devolved to Wales. If devolution is to mean anything, the consent of the Welsh Ministers, as opposed to merely consulting them, is essential. I apologise for being rather direct but the amendment is not a good idea; it is inconsistent with devolution.
