Proceeding contribution from Hywel Williams (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 June 2016. It occurred during Debate on bill on Wales Bill.


Wales Bill

The Secretary of State referred a moment ago to some of the new powers, but of course some powers are not going to be devolved. Could he explain the principle behind choosing which powers to devolve and which to retain? For example, why is water to be retained here while sewerage goes down to Cardiff?
