motion: <p class="" pid="b.231.2/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move, That this House disagrees with the Lords in the said amendment.</p>
  
  <p class="" pid="b.231.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes">This amendment removes the Secretary of State's discretion over how and when to lay a draft referendum Order in Council before Parliament if the Assembly passed such a request on a two-thirds vote. The purpose of clause 103 is to ensure that the Secretary of State responds to a request from the Assembly within a proper time scale. It is right that such a request cannot simply be sat upon.</p>
