Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:41 pm on 23 November 2021.
The Minister's comments about the Bill aligning with England further undermine devolution by suggesting, as the Chair mentioned, that following England is the norm. With the Westminster Government flexing its muscular unionism, with us here hearing, quite correctly, time after time, from Welsh Ministers of the impact that the Westminster Government is having on the devolution settlement, I cannot fathom that approach by the Welsh Government. This Government, the Welsh Government, won a Senedd election by showing the Welsh public that following England was not the norm, and that by doing things differently in Wales, things can be done better.
