Thank you, Llywydd. On this issue we have reached agreement, and therefore I'm pleased to see the amendment tabled by the Government. As Julie James has outlined, our main concern yesterday was to ensure that there was regular reporting back to the Assembly, but that should happen in a way that was reasonable for the Government and in a way that made sense for Assembly Members too. So, the fact that the reporting happens perhaps including a number of events is acceptable to us, because there is a sense where you see the whole picture emerging. So, following discussions with the Government, and in light of what Julie James has said, we are pleased to see this amendment and we will be supporting it.
