We here are Members of the Welsh Parliament at a time when the Westminster Government is undermining our devolution settlement—that is a fact. Listen to the numbers: in the fourth Senedd, there were eight Westminster Bills that required consent; now, in the sixth Senedd, already there are 13 Bills. It is happening. It's no coincidence; it is a plan by the Boris Johnson Government to withdraw powers from this Senedd quietly but consistently.
