1:25:05 > 1:25:10the legislative attempts to retain and even increase the power of the

1:25:10 > 1:25:17executive, which will affect Wales significantly have shamefully failed

1:25:17 > 1:25:22to be successfully challenged by members in the other place. The

1:26:12 > 1:26:19them in this bill is disappointing. If a similar amendment is proposed

1:26:19 > 1:26:23at the committee stage, I will support it.
