Strengthening the Union as it Relates to Wales (First sitting)

Jamie Wallis Excerpts

Tuesday 18th January 2022 General Committees

[Dr Jamie Wallis (Bridgend) (Con)]

You talk about the UK Government not respecting devolution. I think the words you used, if the translation was correct, was a failure to reform, but is it not the case that since 2010—since we have had Conservative Governments—the Senedd has undergone several reformations? It is perhaps a little over 18 months since it has become a full-blown Welsh Parliament, and it is continually changing and evolving, as the people of Wales have expressed that it should. Is it therefore not the case that Conservative Governments have consistently shown respect for devolution, and not, as you say, undermined it?

[The Chair]

I have not said anything.
