During the election campaign, the First Minister said this:

'We need home rule for Wales, more powers, a position where devolution cannot be pulled back by a whim of a prime minister.'

Well, First Minister, well, Counsel General, today you have an opportunity to underpin those words with a proper plan based in statute. Now is the time to act, to deliver on the mandate of the people of Wales, to trigger the provision in the Government of Wales Act 2006 to seek further powers. Now is the time to turn the rhetoric of home rule into reality and deliver the stronger Wales and the stronger Senedd that the people of Wales are crying out for.
