Proceeding contribution from Lord Tanlaw (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Friday, 1 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Devolution (Time) Bill [HL].
Devolution (Time) Bill [HL]
I thank the noble Lord for giving way. He has missed the point, as was the case on the other side of the House. This Bill just provides the choice for Scotland and Wales so that they can decide whether to change. I see no reason for Wales to change, and there is no obligation for it to do so under the Bill. It is a choice. Without that choice, the electorate may feel that it is being unduly pressurised by Westminster.
