§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he has discussed with the Welsh Cabinet the possibility of a fast-track procedure for Welsh legislation. [144068]
§ Mr. Paul MurphyI regularly discuss a wide range of issues with the First Secretary, including the progress through Parliament of primary legislation affecting Wales.
The current procedure for progressing Welsh legislation through Parliament since the establishment of the National Assembly is working very well and I see no need for change at present. There are already procedural options for dealing with Welsh-only primary legislation and each piece of legislation will be considered on its merits.
