Well, that’s right. What’s on the face of those Acts in 1997 and 2011 is entirely clear, namely that the people of Wales have powers with regard to intervention and with regard to how those powers were implemented. Nobody has put this in their manifesto. This wasn’t mentioned last year in the referendum. The United Kingdom has no right to say, ‘Well, the powers that will come back to you in the devolved areas will come to us instead.’ The people of Wales have made their opinion very clear in 2011 as well about what powers this place should have. It’s not appropriate for the Bill that takes us out of the European Union to interfere in any way with the results of those referenda.
