This proposal emerged primarily from my consideration of the other conflicting views I had received and my discussion of these with interested parties. Copies of the responses received to the earlier consultations are available for inspection in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament and, upon request, at the Welsh Office in Cardiff.
