Wales Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Kinnock (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 7 November 2016. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Wales Bill.

I accept the point entirely. I can respond to it only by saying that I await, without bating my breath, for the implementation of this proposition. I can see the attractiveness of it, especially to a party which is self-confessedly populist and has gained great strength by means of offering simple answers to complex questions. That has served that party well for several years—astoundingly well. I await that exercise of the variation under the supplementary powers granted to them and on that occasion, I will withdraw all speculation about Scottish inclinations to vary taxation powers.
