Wales Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 December 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Wales Bill.

That is a drafting point. The noble Lord makes a fair point, but I can give the reassurance that there is certainly no intention on the part of the Government that this should not happen. It is something that is proceeding. I can confirm that it is the Government’s intention. We want this to happen and I believe that it will happen. I am not taking a pessimistic view of this. The noble Lord makes a fair point about the drafting, which I had not picked up—but sometimes these things are referred to as “may” and sometimes as “must”. From our point of view, we regard this as imperative.
