Government of Wales Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Government of Wales Bill.
As a Minister, I always found that, when civil servants said, ““Minister, you have to do this because there is a public interest requirement””, it was usually because they could not think of anything else. Will the Under-Secretary give us a practical example of when the public interest was so important that it necessitated what appears to many of us to be an unacceptable change?
