Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:53 pm on 14 November 2017.
But isn't this a hangover from when we, perhaps, were more of a spoon-fed baby Assembly, as the Member puts it, and there was a Welsh Assembly Government and there was no legal distinction between one and the other? Now the Government is accountable to the Assembly and the Counsel General advises the Government, so surely the Welsh Government should decide. I am as keen to defend the rights of this Assembly as he is, but in this case, surely the First Minister and his team have the right to have their own choice of legal adviser.
