Dear Member,

Please find attached a copy of my submission to the `Commission on the Powers and Electoral Arrangements for Reform of the National Assembly for Wales.'

Although the content is related to my own views, it is approached from a Welsh Liberal Democrat perspective.

My experiences as an MP and campaigner during both the 1979 and 1997 Referendums are relevant. This also relates to the process of putting the Government of Wales Act onto the Statute Book in the House of Commons in 1998. The subsequent operation of the National Assembly for Wales to date is also a crucial factor.

Thank you for allowing me to make these representations to the ‘Richard Commission.’

Yours sincerely,
