Deputy Presiding Officer, may I just say thank you to the committee for the work that they have done in scrutinising the regulations and giving the Government an opportunity to respond to the points raised by the committee? I believe that the committee is now content with the responses that they have received. In terms of clear guidance, of course I agree with the committee Chair. I know that the chair of the WRA and the new board have given priority to guidance. I spoke yesterday to the WRA chief executive and I am confident that the work is in the pipeline. They’ve already commenced it; they are speaking to stakeholders; and guidance will be available after Christmas so that people can have clarity as to what information the authority is going to gather and how they’re going to approach their work, and that will be is issued in a timely manner before 1 April next year when the WRA approaches that work.
