Government of Wales Bill

Proceeding contribution from Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Government of Wales Bill.
That is a kind offer, and I must look at my diary—I may well be going on a fact-finding tour on Friday evening. The change has not been proven to be necessary. It will benefit the Labour party, and it will disadvantage all other parties. Dual candidature is acceptable in other countries—in some countries, people are expected to stand both in a constituency and on a list—but it has suddenly become wrong in Wales. It has probably become wrong in Wales because Labour Members have done the sums and realised that they will not get anywhere in the National Assembly without cooking the books. However, I tell them that even after cooking the books, they will not got anywhere in 2007.
