Whilst I need to say that, obviously, I recognise the strength of the arguments made by David Melding and his constant championing of the scrutiny role of the Assembly in terms of the enhanced level of scrutiny for these particular regulations, as I set out in my introduction speech, because of the narrow nature of the regulation-making power, amending the permitted payments and fixed-penalty notices only, we consider that the affirmative procedure is appropriate for both, and, on that basis, I do hope Members will reject amendments 48 to 52, but support the technical changes we intend to make through amendment 35.
