Well, in respect of that, I think, if you'd been involved in the debates all through the Stages, one of the conflicting arguments is that children can be very badly psychologically damaged by coercive control and other forms of punishment that affect their mental health and well-being. So, I don't really want to agree about the psychological impact of a child having what is considered by many parents reasonable chastisement.

Finally, I draw Members' attention to evidence from the Welsh Local Government Association, who said at Stage 1 that there must be

'a commitment that, whatever the costs are, those costs are met because it is legislation that is being led by the National Assembly for Wales.'

We are in doubt that this should be the case. Therefore, I commend this amendment to be supported.
