This clause would, in effect, extend the power of the Welsh Assembly to administer these matters. That may be a slightly clumsy way of putting it, but I think that is its gist. For the purposes of the record, can we have an assurance of what that would mean in practice? Presumably, it means that the Welsh Assembly might take a different view about when to sell, what to sell and how to sell the loan book. Also, what estimate have the Government made of the incompatibilities that that situation could produce?
