Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

I will never forget it. That was the basis of the noble Lord’s opposition to devolution. It took his own Government at a later time to introduce devolution to Wales. Here we are talking about maintaining the status quo with 650 seats without any reference to the effect on the workload of Members of Parliament in Wales or Scotland. Therefore, instead of talking all this rubbish—he knows that it is rubbish—perhaps the noble Lord would spend another 10 or 15 minutes assisting the people of Wales by addressing that issue.
