Wales Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Elis-Thomas (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Lords on Monday, 24 November 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Wales Bill.

The Minister is absolutely right. The National Assembly has resources in the Assembly Commission to promote its own activity, promote democracy generally and promote a particular referendum as we did prior to the previous referendum, which ensured that we have now proper law-making powers. I am certain that the present Assembly Commission will take the same positive view. Indeed, at an event that was part organised by the Assembly Commission last week, a vote was taken on this matter by young people. The young people were in a majority—a small majority—for generally reducing the voting age to 16.
