If I could raise two issues with the leader of the house. First of all, I see, from the business statement, that the continuity Bill is to be tabled next week. Now, the new title is very long-winded, but let's call it the continuity Bill, as Steffan Lewis has done in the past. Of course, there will be a statement shortly from the Cabinet Secretary—I understand that. I just wanted to ask you about the Assembly procedures of dealing with this Bill. I think we will, first of all, decide whether we accept it as an emergency Bill, and if we do, we will then adopt it in those terms.

So, can you tell us how long you expect this Bill to be discussed, and how long you expect it to take for a decision to be taken by the Assembly? And will there be any time during that process for committee scrutiny? It appears to me, although I understand that it's an emergency Bill, it has been in the pipeline since the summer, at least, and it would appear to me that we established a particular committee to look at issues around Brexit—not just Brexit, but mainly Brexit—chaired by Dai Rees. Surely, there should be time for this committee to have a look at the Bill and to provide some sort of feedback and to seek people's feedback on the Bill. So, I just wanted confirmation of procedure rather than policy. We'll have an opportunity to question the policy in due time.

The second thing I'd like to ask for is a statement from the Government on the situation of banking in Wales, and particularly banking in rural Wales. This is an issue that's been raised on a number of occasions by Members from all parties in this place, but I'm raising it today as I would like the Welsh Government to look at a Bill being brought forward by my colleague Ben Lake today in the House of Commons. It's a 10-minute rule Bill, which will put in place three important principles, which will be very useful for us to look at in terms of rural banking

The first is looking at how we can change the protocol on access to banking in terms of distance rather than time to access. When you think of rural areas, the distances can be quite short, but the time that it takes to access those services can be much longer, particularly if you are reliant on public transport.

The second principle is that the banking regulators should look at the possibility that different banks could share premises, share equipment and even share staff, if required, of course. We will need a change of regulation to allow that, but you could see how that could be beneficial to many rural towns, and you will be aware that this has happened in the context of mobile telecommunications. So, it is something that we should be open to.

The third principle is the one looking at enhancing the services provided by the Post Office. Often, they can provide excellent services but it's not always appropriate for business banking, particularly businesses that still deal with cash, for example.

So, those three principles in the Bill are worthy of consideration by the Government, and I would like the opportunity to discuss them, and perhaps also to hear from the Government what their view is about this Bill, or anything similar that may improve the situation of banking in Wales.
