Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 30 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.


Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for bringing forward these amendments. I am sure that I speak for the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay. I am pleased to have pointed out to the noble Lord that the Government had overlooked the fact that the Welsh Assembly could not make criminal offences. I am sure that the message will get to Wales in time for tomorrow that, at Third Reading, after the Bill had gone all the way through the other place and come here, they finally remembered that Wales exists.
