Proceeding contribution from Lord Rowlands (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 13 July 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on National Assembly for Wales (Legislative Competence) (Housing and Local Government) Order 2010.


National Assembly for Wales (Legislative Competence) (Housing and Local Government) Order 2010

I apologise for interrupting the Minister, but as this is a vital point perhaps we might clear it up straightaway. He says that an assurance has been given, and I am sure that that is true, but paragraph 7.23 of the Explanatory Memorandum states that, ""legislative competence would enable the Assembly, if it so wished, to replace the current Right to Buy scheme with improved and updated schemes to assist home ownership"." That suggests that the Assembly might abolish the scheme but replace it with something else. Does the present competence order still allow the Assembly to do such a thing?
