Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to provide for a referendum on the continuation of the Government of Wales Act 1998.

The UK Government has no plans to hold a referendum on the continuation of devolution in Wales. People in Wales voted in support of devolution in two referenda – in 1997 to establish the National Assembly for Wales and in 2011 to provide it with full law-making powers.

Rather than reopening the question of devolution via a referendum, I would encourage anyone unhappy with the laws being passed by the Senedd to make their voice heard through the ballot box at the next Senedd election.
