Government of Wales Bill

Proceeding contribution from Ian Lucas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Government of Wales Bill.
I thank the hon. Lady, and welcome her to her post. The people of Wales did have a vote, in May 2005, when they returned 29 Labour Members of Parliament in Wales. In the manifesto on which we all stood, we made clear that we would present proposals for the Assembly to be given enhanced legislative powers. There have been occasions on which I have been less than enthusiastic about more powers for the Assembly, but that was the manifesto on which I stood. Does the hon. Lady believe that that carries any weight at all?
