My Lords, I heard what the noble Lord, Lord Crickhowell, said. It is an interesting juxtaposition that three of the parties in the Assembly have been very steadfast in their support for devolution and the Conservative Party has recently become converted to it. We certainly feel that perhaps two-thirds might be more appropriate given the architecture of the Assembly at the present time. I can see why the proposal for 55 per cent is put forward but we would feel more comfortable with a two-thirds majority.
