Government of Wales Bill

Proceeding contribution from Albert Owen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Government of Wales Bill.
The hon. Gentleman touches on a very important point about scrutiny by the National Assembly. Is not the fact that it sits only two to three days a week one of its downfalls? Would it not be better to extend its sittings? Of course, if that happened the hon. Gentleman would be in a very uncomfortable position, because he would have to stay there to scrutinise such legislation, rather than being here. Would he be prepared to give up his dual mandate for the sake of better legislation in the National Assembly?
