The hon. Gentleman the Member for Ormskirk (Mr. Glover) is not as helpful as my hon. Friends, and I am sure that his remarks about other Welshmen and me will be resented by the Committee.

I have the obligation to say here that there are people in Cardiff who will be seriously affected by the proposals the Government have put before us. It is a gross betrayal of what they told the people but a short while ago, in May. This is the price of Tory rule. This proposal, and the others in the Bill, are all part of the price we have to pay because the Tory Party succeeded in misleading the nation at the General Election.
