Group 10 is the next group of amendments, and these relate to regulation-making powers. The lead and only amendment in this group is amendment 20. I call on Llyr Gruffydd to move and speak to the lead amendment.

Amendment 20 (Llyr Gruffydd) moved.

Thank you, Llywydd. I move amendment 20.

Section 65 of the Bill refers to the ombudsman working jointly with specified persons. Subsection 2 details the specified persons that the ombudsman is required to inform and consult, when investigating matters that could be the subject of an investigation by the specified persons. These are detailed on the face of the Bill, of course, namely the children’s commissioner. the older people's commissioner. the future generations commissioner. the Welsh Language Commissioner, and, where the matter relates to health and social care, the Welsh Ministers.

Subsection 2 can be amended by regulation subject to the affirmative procedure in order to add or remove specific persons. The purpose of this amendment is simply to confirm that regulations made under section 65(6) are to be made by Welsh Ministers.

Minister.

This amendment improves the drafting of the Bill, conferring an explicit regulatory power on the face of the Bill, rather than stating simply that regulations may be made. I'm very happy to support this amendment.

No response from Llyr Gruffydd. The question is that amendment 20 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 20 is agreed. 

Amendment agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.
