Government of Wales Bill

My Lords, I am grateful to noble Lords who participated in the debate and who sought to deal with the referendum issue. Like others who have spoken, I have no particular love of referendums but the Government have introduced a referendum in Part 4. I remind the Minister that the question which is to be put before Part 4 is implemented refers to the detail of the Assembly Act provisions and numbers the sections that are to be the subject of a referendum under Part 4, when such a referendum takes place, if ever. The remoteness of that referendum makes one doubt very much whether the Government ever intend to hold it.
