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.
Did not my hon. Friend hear the explanation that the Minister gave as an example of when it would be suitable to use this power? When he gave that example, he showed that the Government would be judge and jury in their own case. It would be for the Government to decide whether the use of the power would interfere with a person’s private rights, and they would make that decision on the basis of their own convenience. The Minister tried to dignify the measure by talking about public value, but what he meant was the convenience of the Executive.
