Government of Wales Bill

Proceeding contribution from Nick Ainger (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Government of Wales Bill.
May I first answer the question raised by the hon. Member for Montgomeryshire about the role of Deputy Ministers? I understand his point, especially in the context of the clear split between Executive and legislature. I would expect the definition in Standing Orders to apply to Deputy Ministers, and given that Deputy Ministers will clearly be part of the Executive, I would not expect them to have the same role as an ordinary Back-Bench Assembly Member; but that is a matter for the Standing Orders.
