Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on Welsh Affairs.

Welsh Affairs

I join my right hon. Friend in paying tribute to all our colleagues who are retiring, but may I pay particular tribute to him? He was a terrific Wales Office Minister serving my right hon. Friend the Member for Torfaen (Mr. Murphy) and serving me, and he has served this House for 15 years. I fought with him in his by-election—I was his minder. The fact that he is standing down represents a real loss to this House and to Wales and I wish him all the best in the future.
