Government of Wales Bill

I beg to move amendment No. 163, in page 50, line 31, leave out from ‘(4)’ to ‘or’ in line 32. Amendment No. 163 is a probing amendment. I am intrigued to understand exactly how the clause is designed to work and what the consequence of accepting the amendment would be. There is provision to allow Assembly Measures to be extended so that they cover consequential areas. Clause 93(5)(a) makes it clear that, in such circumstances, there must be the power to enforce the provision. However, the paragraph also refers to making the provision ““effective””. Quite simply, I wish to know from the Minister what that would entail. He will be aware that there is concern about whether it would be possible to extend such legislation to England, although I am mindful of the clear wording in an earlier subsection. I simply ask for reassurance about why the specific form of words has been chosen.
