Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. I’d like to thank Dai Lloyd and Suzy Davies for explaining the thinking behind the amendments that they’ve proposed. I will start by saying that I consider that these amendments enhance Part 1. So, I will be supporting both amendments.

Turning first to amendment 13, as has been explained, this will insert a definition of accessibility into section 1 for the purposes of Part 1. Accessibility of the law is a fundamental element of the rule of law and the underpinning policy objective of this Bill. For Welsh law to be accessible, it needs to be clear and certain in its effect, as well as being easily available and navigable.

I’m satisfied that the amendment proposed by Dai Lloyd today provides a definition that captures the four key elements of accessibility and is comprehensive in the way that it expresses those elements. It reflects the equal status for all purposes of bilingual legislation, and provides a meaningful test for us to follow when we think about whether legislation is accessible or not.

Members will be aware of this Government’s long-term ambition to codify Welsh law. Codification is intended to bring order to the statute book, and involves organising and publishing legislation by reference to its content, and adopting a system under which legislation retains its structure rather than proliferating.

As Members can see, amendment 14 proposed today by Suzy Davies captures these two important aspects of the idea of codification, but without restricting its scope. Framed in that way, I agree that the amendment provides a helpful definition for inclusion in section 2 of the Bill.

If the Bill is passed, I intend to publish a position statement later this summer on consolidation, codification and the future structure of Welsh law. This will expand upon the definition now proposed and will complement what was said in the draft taxonomy for codes of Welsh law, which I published when the Bill was introduced.

I am pleased, therefore, to support both amendments, and I urge other Members to do the same.
