Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd, and can I thank the Counsel General? I actually thought his letter to the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee was very helpful. It's always encouraging to get ministerial commitments to any activity that is promoted here by the Assembly Members themselves, but, again, I have to ask, as I would always do in these circumstances, if you're so prepared to commit, why not commit to the duty to do this.

The only reason I was asking for this, really, was because when something is on the face of the Bill, it gives rise to the possibility for regulations under the secondary legislation being raised on the back of it, and, when that happens, it's another opportunity for Assembly Members to scrutinise what the Welsh Government is hoping to do. So, while, of course, I do welcome the commitment that you have given, I just think I could have tested your good graces that tiny bit further and asked you to have accepted this. Thank you.
