Sorry, but your'e not getting it. I've just made that very point:

I didn't claim that, in the case of Wales, the difference in powers is enormous (or on the scale of what applies in Scotland), just that there is a difference in powers and that's what the poster was referring to.

and nowhere have I said that the Welsh assembly has lots of new powers or that they amount to much more than a hill of mining spoil.
The powers in question with respect to the Welsh assembly are clearly relatively minor when compared to those in Scotland but, however minor, they do exist, as you have just confirmed and that's what the OP was referring to when he raised the issue of the West Lothian question.
