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

Constitutional Reform (Wales)

Does my hon. Friend agree that Wales is, in essence, a small country next to a very large country that is 15 times its size? If we want a sustainable Union and a respect agenda, we should remember that Wales has always had slightly more MPs than England. That is the fundamental point: tearing up the Union is the cost of gerrymandering a sustainable Conservative Government. Wales is a small country sitting next to a big one, so we should have a few more MPs. That is all this is about.
