Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 February 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Welsh Affairs.
Welsh Affairs
I thank the hon. Gentleman for that point. Scotland has huge potential for hydroelectricity and has really built on it. I was saying how important it is for the Secretary of State to pay attention to what happens in Westminster. Currently, the Governments in Westminster and in Cardiff can work as friends, but it is arrogant to assume that that will always be the case. We should make the devolution settlement as watertight as possible, so that the progressive work of the Assembly is not blocked by a hostile Government in London. As some London MPs keep telling us, if they had their way, the Assembly would not even exist.
