I welcome your contribution to that effect, and perhaps the Secretary of State would like to reflect upon that point. Perhaps he would also like to reflect upon the fact that this Bill, if enacted, will be the fifth time that devolution has been altered in Wales. The fact that we’ve had to change devolution five times, that doesn’t reflect some sort of generosity from Westminster, it reflects the fact that the model that we have tried has been unsustainable. When we’ve had successive Secretaries of State for Wales claiming that the next devolution Bill will settle the debate for a generation—and we’ve heard that from at least four Secretaries of State for Wales to date—then settling that never actually happens, something is seriously wrong.

Plaid Cymru MPs at Westminster have taken steps to try to strengthen this Bill. In line with the Welsh Government’s draft Government and Laws in Wales Bill, our MPs laid down an amendment on legal jurisdiction. This position has the democratic endorsement of a majority of voters in Wales in the election several months ago. It’s more than regrettable that the Labour Party in Westminster abstained on that vote and that support for the principle was highly varied amongst those Labour MPs who spoke to that amendment. I find it incredible to hear the First Minister say today that the support of the Welsh Government is there for a Welsh legal jurisdiction, but Labour MPs failed to support that in Parliament yesterday, and I said to the First Minister yesterday: he needs to tell his MPs to get a grip.

There was more support—consistent support—from Labour MPs for the other vote that the MPs forced at Westminster yesterday, on removing the justice impact assessments, and I welcome that. But I only wish that we could have had more of a united front on other issues, especially when it was Labour Party policy.

Now, in many respects, I think that those efforts have fallen victim to the chaos that is within the Labour Party at Westminster, and, as the First Minister admitted to me yesterday, that situation is not stable. But, ultimately, there has been a failure of how this Bill has been structured and scrutinised.

The wider Queen’s Speech has been disappointing for a number of reasons for Wales. On prison reform, the UK Government is effectively proposing its failed academies model to prisons. If we controlled our own prisons policy, this could have been prevented. I welcome the movement on the sugared drinks tax. Plaid Cymru was ahead of the curve, of course, on that proposal, having been ridiculed by others; we called for it first in 2013. But it will be disappointing if the revenues from that tax are not distributed evenly.

As ever, though, the Queen’s Speech is notable for what’s missing. Plaid Cymru’s alternative Queen Speech included a devolution of policing Bill, a Severn bridge tolls Bill, we called for a north Wales growth deal, with multiple proposals ranging from rail electrification and confirmation of the Llanbedr spaceport. The UK Government’s previously announced north Wales growth deal contains no concrete proposals at all. We’ve also proposed an EU funds contingency Bill to introduce and establish statutory contingency alternative funding arrangements at least equal to those currently available to the levels of EU structural funds and common agricultural policy.

We note with interest the statement from the Secretary of State for Wales on the new Prime Minister’s intention of delaying the triggering of article 50. It was somewhat surprising to hear him say this. Do we have any idea how long that is going to be delayed for? Because uncertainty is a big problem now and I can’t see how this delay will help with that. The danger is that it looks as though the UK Government doesn’t have a clue what it’s doing and I very much hope that that is just how it looks.

The Queen’s Speech should be seen as another missed opportunity. What’s missing from the speech, and from the Wales Bill, is of greater significance than what is included. The improvements on offer, such as establishing the permanence of this institution, and control of our own electoral arrangements, are to be welcomed, but have been packaged in a Bill that is incredibly complex, mainly due to the absence of the Welsh legal jurisdiction. I’m troubled at the way the Bill has now moved forward without significant engagement by the Secretary of State with this Assembly.

In conclusion, I believe that this Bill will not bring stability to Wales in anything more than the immediate short term, and that it does not bring us in line with what is happening in Scotland. Why does it seem, yet again, that what is good enough for Scotland isn’t good enough for Wales, and why does the Secretary of State for Wales appear to be content with that?
