Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [HL]

My Lords, the noble Lord should know that I have a certain persistence in these matters. In 1964 I stood as a parliamentary candidate in Rhyl, on a platform calling for a Parliament for Wales. In 1967 I drafted a Bill, which was presented in another place, for a Parliament for Wales with the sort of powers that I am anxious that this Government should give to Wales now. It is a lifelong matter. I hope that the noble Lord, who is perhaps not of the same history, will not be too critical of me for pursuing these matters. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 5 not moved.]
