Look, I'm not here to try and say this is a piece of perfect legislation. The choice we make is whether to give our consent for the legislation to go ahead given the impact that it will have on our citizens if we do consent, or do not. If I were drafting this piece of legislation it would look differently, and I know the House of Lords has had concerns about the scope of the legislation, and one of the amendments passed by the House of Lords today limits the scope to the wider European Economic Area rather than our wider international agreements. I would prefer that to be the end shape of the Bill, but even if it isn't, I still believe the right judgment is for the Assembly to consent to the Bill as it has been presented, because it does provide further safeguards for this place and our powers, and actually, much more importantly, it safeguards the positions of our citizens that we have responsibility for. I've previously made clear that the Welsh Government does not wish to block reciprocal healthcare arrangements. But we do need to be appropriately involved in the development of any future reciprocal healthcare agreements, and that has not happened up to this point in time. So, we have an agreement on enhancing our role in the future agreement and positing of reciprocal healthcare arrangements. And the legislative and the non-legislative assurance provided by the UK Government bring this Bill to a position where I can and do recommend that consent is given.

So, we've maintained a strong negotiating position with the UK Government that has resulted in positive amendments to the Bill and a memorandum of understanding that makes clear how we will be involved in the development of future healthcare agreements, and I do note for the Chamber that Scottish Ministers have indicated their support for the approach negotiated by this Government. Reciprocal healthcare agreements provide assurances to many individuals and it is right that the Welsh Government should play a positive and active role in ensuring that appropriate provision is in place for Welsh residents in the future, and I therefore ask Members to support the motion.
