Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 December 2009. It occurred during Legislative debate on Constitutional Law.
Constitutional Law
Does the Secretary of State agree that the process that he has adopted on this occasion ought to set a precedent for Governments of all colours, in the sense that, once a matter that is clearly in the domain of the Assembly—in spirit and also, to some extent, in words—has been decided by the Assembly, it would not be in order for us to overturn it? Does he therefore acknowledge that we are putting a marker in the sand for how these important decisions might be made in the future, and how they should be respected when they come from Cardiff?
