Proceeding contribution from David Jones (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 May 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Constitutional Reform (Wales).

Constitutional Reform (Wales)

I am most grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for giving way. He makes a point that he has made previously on the Floor of the House and on the last occasion when we debated the matter in Westminster Hall. How does he get over the need for equality in terms of vote? Is it not the essence of democracy that everyone's vote, wherever in the country it is cast, should be of equal validity? Is it not the case that, if Wales were disproportionately advantaged, that principle would be broken?
