Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:40 pm on 1 October 2019.
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. May I thank the Llywydd and the committee Chair for their comments, and may I give you an assurance that the Welsh Government is committed to ensuring that information is available so that Members can scrutinise the legislation in an appropriate manner? The Government will, of course, look at some of the cost implications of this Bill within the 2020-21 budgetary process.
In terms of the comments made on the details of the amendments, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to respond to those in this debate, but I do look forward to doing so when we turn to our Stage 2 proceedings. So, today I ask the Assembly to agree on the expenditure as a result of this Bill. Thank you.
