I want to make sure that I have understood properly what the noble Lord, Lord Livsey of Talgarth, is trying to do. His amendment seeks to leave out paragraph (b) of Clause 94(5), which states,"““having been so approved, has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament””."
The noble Lord has nodded his assent. It seems to follow from this that the Westminster Parliament would have no role in deciding whether or not a function ought to be devolved to the Welsh Assembly under Schedule 5. Whether or not a function should be devolved to the Assembly under that schedule would be entirely a matter for the Assembly itself, in discussion with the Secretary of State. Have I understood correctly what the noble Lord seeks here?
