Proceeding contribution from Lord Wigley (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 October 2014. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Wales Bill.


Wales Bill

That is true of all the powers, and we have to look to the Assembly to take a responsible attitude. Obviously there are questions to consider—cross-border questions and all the rest—and the Assembly needs to make these powers work, so it is not going to do stupid things. It will take up the powers and use them in a way that moves our economy forward. I am quite happy to trust that people who give priority to the needs of Wales will do this, from whichever party they come. All I want them to have is the tools to do the job. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
