Wales Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 November 2016. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Wales Bill.

I was going to say that I strongly support Amendments 58 and 97, in the absence of an assurance from the Minister to the contrary, because there is a strong case—following the St David’s Day agreement, the work of the Silk commission and, indeed, the logic of the case—that responsibility for this franchise should lie with the Welsh Government. To avoid taking up any more time, I hope the Minister will confirm that it will be devolved and the Government will bring forward an amendment to that effect at some point, presumably on Report.
