Clause 9 - The Registrar
Hunting Bill
9:45 am
Mr Lembit Öpik (Montgomeryshire, Liberal Democrat)
I will answer as briefly as I can because I want to talk about the amendment. The whole purpose of being here is not to score cheap political points. There are those who may try. The salient issue, which is relevant to the amendments, is the difference between the Liberal Democrat view of respecting the wishes of the Assembly when it comes to devolution, and the view of the hon. Member for Ynys Môn who, by implication at least, seems to think that despite the fact that elements of the Labour party in the Welsh Assembly would like the amendments to be agreed, the Labour party in Westminster should take a different view.
