Were you any the wiser, First Minister, following your discussions? Because I and the other member of the House of Lords sitting opposite have been in three sittings already discussing the Wales Bill, and have received some positive responses from the Minister, Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth, but it’s clear to me that the Wales Office is nothing more than a bolt-on to the Ministry of Justice, and that the UK Government, in the most unintelligent way, is again trying to draft the Welsh constitution. When will the day arrive when we can write our own constitution here in our own nation?
