    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think the greatest aspect of our Constitution is devolution and, in my view, - and I have always said this - we have not planned devolution and done it properly. The simple reason has been that the Transition to Devolved Government Act was actually never followed to the letter. Now, the law as it stands provides that it should be on until three years or until the devolution is completed, none of which in my mind has been achieved. All the functions that were supposed to be done, and the most important one was actually the costing of the functions that were to be devolved, assessing the capacity and human resource--- That is one of the reasons why we are having the huge wage bill and now, we cannot come at this point and say we are actually doing away with TA while the functions which they were supposed to do are pending. Though we may pretend that we have devolved first, it has given us more problems. Therefore, I support that we delete the proposed amendment."
