I thank the Llywydd and David Melding for their contributions to the debate. Clearly, we share the objective of creating clear and accountable financing arrangements for the Electoral Commission, reflecting their responsibilities to the Senedd. And I would just say that the amendments made at Stage 3 are a reflection of the discussion had in the Chamber at Stage 2.

There were competing approaches towards the accountability of the Electoral Commission to the Senedd, and Members will recall that, at scrutiny, the Finance Committee, in particular, was very clear that their position should be that we should find a way with the Llywydd of making the proposed amendments that the Llywydd wished to make workable, and we have done that. The mechanism for doing that, as Members will recall, is to delay the commencement until precisely the audit and accountability arrangements, which we wish to see in place, have been explored further. That was never going to be possible by Stage 3—that is a set of discussions involving a range of third parties. But the ambition there and the objective is to work with the Llywydd, as we have been doing, to ensure that those arrangements are in place, to the satisfaction of all, so that the Electoral Commission is accountable in the way that it should be.

I'll echo the Llywydd's thanks to the committees for their scrutiny and ask Members to support the Government's amendments and the amendments that the Llywydd has moved.
