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

My hon. Friend would presumably agree with me that, although this Secretary of State is genuinely committed to devolution, and I have faith that there is no attempt to obfuscate on the implementation of the policy, it nevertheless shows that if a more anti-devolutionary Government were to take charge in Westminster, there are many mechanisms they could use to stall the devolution of further powers to the Assembly. Based on what I heard this morning, I am not at all comfortable or confident that that opportunity would not be taken by, for example, a Conservative Government.
