Government of Wales Bill

My Lords, there is no doubt that the Sewel convention is working well—indeed, it may be working better than was expected. The only problem with it—this is a complaint from the opposition parties—is that, when a Sewel motion is brought before the Scottish Parliament, Members of the Parliament are not clear whether they are supposed to be debating the issue that they are then going to ask this Parliament to decide on, or whether they are just debating an administrative transfer.
