Government of Wales Bill — 9 Jan 2006 at 21:49
Charles Walker MP, Broxbourne voted in the minority (Aye).
I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.
May I express the House's condolences to the family of Lord Merlyn-Rees, who sadly died recently? He was a proud Welshman and perhaps one of the leading Welsh parliamentarians of his generation. The House remembers him with great affection.
I beg to move,
"That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Government of Wales Bill because there has been inadequate consultation about the electoral arrangements proposed in the Bill; and because the Bill fails to provide for a referendum on the introduction of the Orders in Council mechanisms for conferring enhanced legislative powers on the National Assembly for Wales."
Question put, That the amendment be made:-
The House divided: Ayes 161, Noes 341.
