Welsh Affairs

Proceeding contribution from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 March 2016. It occurred during Backbench debate on Welsh Affairs.

That part of the splendid report referred to by the right hon. Member for Clwyd West (Mr Jones) is a fine example of inventing precedent to suit a case. In fact, the words inserted into the report were disputed, because they are a great example of the argument made at the beginning of a splendid book about those times called “Dragons Led by Poodles”, which asserted that only the future is certain, but the past is always changing. That is what the Committee tried to do.
