Question accordingly negatived.

Question , That the proposed words be there added, put forthwith pursuant to Standing Order No.30 (Questions on amendments) and agreed to.

Madam Deputy Speaker-- forthwith declared the main Question, as amended, to be agreed to .

Resolved ,

That this House congratulates the Government on its comprehensive housing policies to meet the needs and aspirations of the people of Wales ; welcomes in particular the high and increasing level of home ownership in Wales ; supports measures to promote wider home ownership ; notes the high level of investment by Tai Cymru since 1989 which has exceeded £1 billion and produced nearly 22,000 homes ; welcomes the attraction of substantial private funding to the housing association programme enabling greater diversity and choice ; and rejects the call for the establishment of a Parliament for Wales which would create an unnecessary tier of Government and would waste resources.
