I'm grateful to the First Minister for his statement, but I'm sure that he will understand that some of us are a little frustrated with the timetable, bearing in mind that it is a good 15 years since this legislature first in principle expressed its wish to remove this unjustifiable defence. Can the First Minister provide us with reassurances that there will be sufficient time in the lifetime of this Assembly for this crucial legislation for the children of Wales to finally be passed?
