Proceeding contribution from Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 5 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Political and Constitutional Reform.

Political and Constitutional Reform

There is no specific culling on the basis of Welsh or Scottish devolution. There is an aim, as far as possible, to get the same size of constituency. Saving money and moving forward with devolution are not mutually exclusive. We have already pledged that we will move forward with the referendum on more powers for the Welsh Assembly—something that the Government are committed to and which is part of this broader pattern of political reform.
