		This is a firm rebuttal for Allan Rogers in the Rhondda, Llew Smith in Blaenau Gwent, Ray Powell in Ogmore and Alan Williams in Swansea, along with doubters like Denzil Davies in Llanelli and Ted Rowlands in Merthyr.
		The role of Llew Smith in the No campaign is particularly problematic, since his appalling stance on this question has done a great deal to discredit the Labour left.
		Llew's stand on the Assembly will make it all the easier for people to dismiss his arguments against EMU as emanating simply from a London-centred, British nationalist perspective.

		Llew Smith, the member for Blaenau Gwent, has lodged a formal complaint to Nick Brown, the Chief Whip, alleging that Ron Davies, the Welsh Secretary, threatened to remove him from the parliamentary party if he campaigned against a Welsh assembly in the autumn referendum.
		Mr Smith, a long-standing opponent of devolution, also claimed that the leaders of his local council had been told that their relationship with the Welsh Office could suffer because of his stance.
		Mr Smith is expected to force a showdown by continuing to campaign for a "no" vote in the referendum.

		Llew - predictably - denounced this as an attempt to impose a Blairite woman rather than a local left-winger, who might just happen to be a man. He and the constituency's Assembly Member, Peter Law, led a boycott of the selection process, which seems to have been supported by the majority of CLP activists.
		Llew's 'left' credentials, and the bureaucracy's high-handed approach to the issue, have allowed him to represent the supporters - any supporters - of all-women shortlists as the right wing, which is palpably false.
		This case again provides backing for the Llew Smith view that attempts to ensure gender balance are a cover for the machinations of the Blairites, this time because Welsh Labour general secretary, Jessica Morden - who comes from nearby Cwmbran - is hoping to be selected for the seat.

	News Wales > Politics > Llew Smith accused of cowardice
		A leading anti-racist campaigner and Plaid Cymru member has openly accused veteran Labour MP Llew Smith of being a coward and deliberately stirring up ill-feeling between the English and the Welsh, after a BBC radio interview where he accused prominent Plaid party members of being racist but was not prepared to name names.
		The interview on BBC Radio Wales was a forerunner to a Parliamentary debate on the issue of racism in Wales, where Llew Smith intends to accuse Plaid Cymru and other Welsh language campaigners of being racist.
		He questioned what Llew Smith had actually done in recent months in terms of campaigning against the rise of the BNP in the UK and against some of the asylum polices of his own party.

		Mr Hague wrote to Mr Blair, saying that backbencher Llew Smith's account of events was "completely inconsistent" with the denials the Prime Minister issued at yesterday's Commons question time.
		He said if Mr Smith believed he was having "improper pressure" put on him or if people were doubting his word, he could take it up with the committee.
		The row began on Tuesday, when Labour backbencher Mr Smith said that Welsh Secretary Ron Davies had threatened him with expulsion from the party if he opposed Labour's devolution plans and that an adviser of Mr Davies had told local councilors their relationship with the Welsh Office would be jeopardised unless he backed the plans.

		He focused five of his six questions on a disturbing breach of parliamentary privilege highlighted by Llew Smith, the former Labour backbencher.
		Mr Smith had said that Ron Davies, the Welsh minister, had threatened him with expulsion from the parliamentary Labour party if he would not back proposed reforms for Welsh devolution.
		(Llew Smith later appeared on Newsnight stating that the incident had indeed occurred but, as Mr Cameron has picked up from Mr Blair, the front bench is seemingly no place for details.)

		They felt that it was insulting that a CLP that had chosen Aneurin Bevan, Michael Foot and Llew Smith to represent it in Parliament should be denied the right to make a free choice this time.
		Those who imposed the women-only shortlist got their reply when Mr Smith's 2001 majority of 19,313 was turned into one of 9,121 for Mr Law.

		The Labour MPs Llew Smith (Blaenau Gwent) and Glenda Jackson (Hampstead and Highgate) say questions on issues raised in the Hutton inquiry cannot be tabled to ministers - so the public does not know MPs are taking up the matter.
		Mr Smith has taken the unprecedented step of releasing some of the draft questions, with comments from clerks in the parliament's table office, the body that vets the wording of MPs' questions before they are put on the order paper.
		Questions turned down include attempts to find out whether the prime minister has changed the rules to allow members of the security services who disagree with a policy decision or the wording in documents to make their views known.

	Tories demand 'threats' inquiry
		William Hague led a determined Tory effort to exploit claims by Llew Smith, the MP for Blaenau Gwent, that pressure had been brought on him to toe the Labour Party line on devolution - contradicting repeated denials by Tony Blair.
		Mr Blair told MPs on Wednesday that he was satisfied that "no threats" had been made and dismissed Mr Smith's claim that an adviser to Mr Davies had told Blaenau Gwent council officials that their relationship with the Welsh Office could be jeopardised by their MP's opposition to the assembly.
		Last night Mr Smith repeated his allegations that Mr Davies had threatened that he would be "kicked out" of the Parliamentary Labour Party if he campaigned against an assembly.

	Blaenau Gwent (UK Parliament constituency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The seat hit the headlines at the 2005 UK General Election when the Labour Welsh Assembly Member Peter Law ran as an independent and won the seat.
		He had resigned from the Labour Party in protest at the imposition of an all-women candidates' shortlist following the retirement of incumbent MP Llew Smith, and overturned a 19,313 (60%) Labour majority with a significant 9,121 (25%) majority.
		In 2006 the Labour Party decided not to require an all-women shortlist at the next general election.

		Llew Smith, on the other hand, says that "While we all want the conflict to end in Iraq as a soon as possible, pouring guns into a country already stacked with weapons is not the way to resolve the conflict.
		The point is that the interim government and its national assembly have been drawn from various groups to be as representative as possible and to arrange elections.
		The result, however, is far more serious: Iraqi security forces are less able to defend the election process, which is under vicious attack from the so-called resistance and has actually been sanctioned by the UN Security Council.

		The role of Llew Smith MP is particularly problematic.
		He is the only member of the left-wing Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs in Wales, and his stand against the Assembly has done a great deal to discredit the Labour left, allowing opponents to lump together all his radical positions as representing 'old-style state centralist socialism'.
		However, Llew Smith's stand on the Assembly will make it all the easier for people to dismiss his arguments against European Monetary Union as emanating simply from a London-centred, British nationalist perspective.

		He says that for a man who has been gagged Llew is finding a lot to say for himself on the airwaves.

		But Mr Davies, though indicating that it was not for him to say what Mr Smith could and could not do, said devolved power to Wales was one of the party's key election pledges.
		Mr Davies defended MPs' rights to free speech but continued: "I also want to draw attention to the responsibilities people have to live up to their election promises made in the General Election." And he urged MPs to "approach this matter on the basis of unity".
		Responding to Mr Davies's remarks, Conservative spokesman on constitutional affairs, Nigel Evans, described the row over Llew Smith and Welsh Secretary Ron Davies as "Rongate" and said it was "the Labour Government's first test of its rhetoric about `open and honest' government".
