Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:44 pm on 6 June 2017.
Chair. I was getting there. [Laughter.] I will close my opening contribution by confirming that I will not be moving a financial resolution today. I’ve written to all Assembly Members this morning outlining the revisions that are being made to the regulatory impact assessment. I expect to have the revised version available by the end of the summer recess and will re-table a financial resolution in the autumn. I look forward to continuing to debate and develop the Bill and hope this Assembly will support its general principles, but I do believe it is right and proper that scrutiny is informed scrutiny. I recognise the points that have been made by the Chair of the Finance Committee and I accept the points that have been made by the Chair of the Finance Committee in relation to this matter, and I believe that the Government has a responsibility to ensure the accuracy of information provided to all committees and to Members, and also that the scrutiny that takes place in committee is fully informed scrutiny, and the Government does its best to ensure that it provides all the information in a timely way to committees. So, I will hope to continue to work with Members on all sides of the Chamber to ensure that we have a piece of legislation that will not only change the lives of young people and children today, but for the future as well.
