11. 9. Debate: Stage 3 of the Land Transaction Tax and Anti-avoidance of Devolved Taxes (Wales) Bill – in the Senedd at 4:50 pm on 28 March 2017.
The next group is group 5, which contains technical amendments relating to cross-references. The lead amendment in this group is amendment 9. I call on the Cabinet Secretary to move and speak to the lead amendment and the other amendments in the group.
Diolch, Llywydd. This is the first of a series of groups of technical Government amendments that will come before the Assembly this afternoon.
These all have a slightly different focus and have therefore been separated for ease of discussion, but what they have in common is that they are all minor and technical. In the main, they are necessary amendments to the Bill in order to improve the clarity of drafting. For example, all the amendments in this group address incorrect cross references in the Bill. The majority of these have arisen as a result of the changes to the Bill made at Stage 2, and we now have the opportunity to ensure that these cross-references are correct. I ask Members to support them.
There are no speakers for this group, and, therefore, there’s no need to call the Cabinet Secretary to respond to any debate. The question is that amendment 9 be agreed. Does any Member object? Therefore, amendment 9 is agreed.
Cabinet Secretary—amendment 10.
