Government of Wales Bill

My Lords, I was not surprised by the Minister’s response, particularly on Amendment No. 45. However, Amendment No. 51 would reduce the period from 60 to 30 days if Parliament had been prorogued. Parliament could be prorogued for a relatively long time and the legislative process could be delayed for an extended period. However, I have listened to what the Minister has said and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 46 not moved.]
