National Assembly for Wales (Legislative Competence) (Welsh Language)

I am a bit surprised by the attempts of Conservative Front Benchers to delay the debate. Is it not a strength that we have the Welsh Affairs Committee’s report, as well as the report of the Assembly Committee? We also have my right hon. Friend’s response to that report. We can therefore have an open debate that could influence how the order is drafted and how he introduces it. I should have thought that that was precisely what the Welsh Grand Committee was for.
