Llywydd, I recognise the point the Member makes about the long gestation of this Bill. That's why we are determined that it will indeed reach the statute book during this Assembly term. We are working hard. We've been discussing it again this week to make sure that we are in a position to introduce the Bill as early as we are able to, and certainly in good time to make sure that it completes its passage through this Assembly.
