I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on the impenetrable nature of that question. Fortunately, I understand it. I have kept that power in order to protect Parliament’s interests. Prior to, and in some cases even subsequent to, the full devolution of primary powers which is provided for in the Bill subject to a referendum, it is important to ensure that what Parliament decides is carried out. If there were any attempt by the Assembly not to do that, I would have a residual power to check it.
