I thank the Member for that question and the opportunity to clarify the answer that I gave. The reversal in the legislative presumption, which the consultation sets out, would not affect the situation that I described to Bethan Sayed. The Bill would not change the meaning of the term 'Crown', for example, and it wouldn't have an effect on existing law. Just to reiterate: it reverses the presumption so that, in future, in order for the Crown and Government to be bound by statute, the Act will need to spell that out.
