Wales Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Randerson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 24 November 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Wales Bill.

It does not, of course, lie in my hands whether there is compromise. It is an issue for the four parties within Wales. I strongly agree with

the noble Baroness, Lady Morgan, who has made clear that the devolution debate has changed. It has gathered force and moved on since Silk 2 was published. I join the noble Lord, Lord Elis-Thomas, in being delighted at the end of the concept of WAG. I always regarded this as an unfortunate acronym of the Welsh Assembly Government. My noble friend Lord Thomas made the very important point that the Bill is just a step. I say to noble Lords who make me feel like a newcomer that I have only been campaigning for devolution in Wales since 1979.
