Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Basildon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 November 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.


Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

There are two points. First, the hon. Member for Epping Forest (Mrs. Laing) is quite right: there would be no transfer of power to Scotland; the power would remain with the Prime Minister. Secondly, I can assure the hon. Member for Cambridge (David Howarth) that the legislative power exists; no legislative change would be necessary for the provisions of the amendment to be introduced.
