Plaid Cymru will be supporting the amendments in the name of Julie James. We agree that there is a gap in the legislation as it stands not to have a repeal clause if agreement is reached with the Westminster Government—that’s the main political reason that may arise, in those circumstances. We should treasure the second when David Melding spoke against a superaffirmative process. That’s one to cut out and keep, if I may say so, and I will never forget that. I’m of the opinion that this is an appropriate process. Yes, it turns around consultation, but at least there will be a conversation between Assembly committees and the Government if the Government wish to repeal the Act. So, that is an appropriate process. We will need to understand, before voting on repealing the Act, whether the political agreement is one that we as an Assembly would accept, so it’s entirely appropriate that there should be a superaffirmative process around the repeal of the Bill.

The fact that the Bill was introduced as emergency legislation is a different argument, which we will return to in closing these discussions at Stage 4, I'm sure. But it’s not true to say that the past few months haven’t seen discussions surrounding this Bill. Steffan Lewis has raised this on numerous occasions in this Chamber and a number of external organisations have also been discussing it. We support the fact that there should be a repeal clause, but, having discussed with Government, we’re happy to support the amendments in the name of Julie James and the Government.
