'One Wales' was the coalition agreement for the National Assembly for Wales. It was held between Labour and Plaid Cymru in 2007. The agreement was negotiated in the wake of the preceding National Assembly election which resulted in a large Labour plurality, but no majority.
The agreement is of historic importance as, on 27 June 2007, the Wales Labour Party and Plaid Cymru made the commitment to 'proceed to a successful outcome of a referendum for full law-making powers under Part IV of the Government of Wales Act 2006 as soon as practicable, at or before the end of the Assembly term.' The two parties agreed 'in good faith to campaign for a successful outcome to such a referendum' and to set up an All Wales Convention to prepare for such a successful outcome.
