I’m grateful to the Minister. I find it hard to reconcile what she’s telling the Chamber today with what the First Minister told me on 28 June, when I specifically asked him about an autism Act and he replied as follows, and I quote:

‘ that is being considered at present…in terms of seeing in what way we can develop legislation on autism, and particularly whether we can ensure that the action plan can be strengthened through being placed on a statutory basis ultimately.’

She only pins her hopes on the action plan. The First Minister told me they were looking at legislation. Why can’t you accept the motion today?
