Thank you very much. Can I say from the start that I fully support this Bill? I may, like some other Members here, including the Member for Mid and West Wales, actually have to leave before the vote, but could I put on record my support for it? Can I also say that I think the one thing about it is that it brings clarity and it brings compulsion? I think that those are two very important things, and the danger is that you have one set of advice notes to be followed by another set of advice notes. Legislation gives you clarity and compulsion.
