I shared many a platform with people from the Labour party and the Liberal Democrats at that time, and I did not hear any of that kind of thing being said. While the hon. Lady is talking about putting this question to the people of Wales, may I ask her to comment on something that her leader in the Welsh Assembly said recently? He said:"““I think we have at the moment an insecure settlement which cannot persist. We either need to move forward to legislative powers or abolish the assembly and I think that’s not an option. We’ve got to see how we can move things forward and that’s got to mean legislative powers.””"
Another senior member of her party in the Assembly, Glyn Davies, said on 15 June 2005 that he agreed with the"““objective of a law-making Assembly as the only way to create true accountability for the Government in the National Assembly.””"
Neither of those hon. Gentlemen said anything about involving the people in such a decision.
