READERS may recall that at the last general election the Conservatives Party promised the people of Wales a referendum before giving any tax raising powers to the Welsh Assembly.

The Wales Bill going currently through parliament gives these powers to the Assembly without the promised referendum.

Is it too much to expect that such a simple assurance given freely to the electorate should be honoured?

I invite your readers to exercise their democratic rights by writing to their MPs protesting this change in policy without the consultation they were promised.
