Government of Wales Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Jones (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Government of Wales Bill.
I think that my hon. Friend the Member for Chesham and Amersham (Mrs. Gillan) was expressing the concern that, on the face of it, these powers could exceed the powers that are conferred in relation to matters and fields that are devolved to Assembly Ministers. The Minister has already said that the powers would enable Assembly Ministers to exercise such functions ““within the area of their responsibility””. However, that phrase does not appear in the Bill. Could the matter not be simply resolved and clarified by adopting the wording that my hon. Friend suggests or that the Minister himself has just used?
