Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 May 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Constitutional Reform (Wales).

Constitutional Reform (Wales)

I agree that we should have had the opportunity to debate this matter in full—whether it be on the Floor of the House, in a St David's day debate or a Grand Committee debate. However, I am in disagreement with the right hon. Gentleman. When Welsh MPs come together on a particular matter, it does not matter whether we number 30 or 40. But if we started off with 30 Welsh MPs, could we honestly argue to be increased to 40? It seems to me that that argument just could not be made.
