It might not be a coalition, but it looks like one. I welcome the agreement. I welcome the publication of the documents today that underpin the agreement; I think that's important in terms of transparency. I welcome the politics of the agreement; I think it's a good thing to do. And I welcome the statement from the Presiding Officer this morning on the advice that she has taken. 

But this does raise questions for us as a Parliament, and I don't believe the Government can wipe that under any carpet and pretend it doesn't exist. The Government is already too powerful in this Chamber. It is powerful, and it does not receive the same scrutiny as other Governments receive, either in Westminster or Holyrood, or even in Stormont. So, there are questions here, because Plaid Cymru will have a role that goes beyond that of simply a budget agreement that we have experienced before. The fact that there is a finance committee within Government overseeing public expenditure I think is right, and I think is proper, and I welcome it, but it is different and it does put Plaid Cymru in a different situation. 

I welcome the fact that there are designated Members. I welcome Siân Gwenllian's appointment, which I saw on Twitter earlier this afternoon. I think it will empower the Welsh Government, and I think it will strengthen the Welsh Government, but again, it asks questions about scrutiny. I welcome the fact that there are agreements in place between the two parties to manage business in this Chamber. Again, that asks questions. It is not credible to argue that the agreement between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru means that Plaid Cymru does not have an executive role. That is simply not a credible argument to make. 

I do believe that we need to consider this matter. I'm not sure that the format of a topical question this afternoon is the best way of resolving these matters, but I do believe that the Presiding Office, and the Government, and all of us as Members, need to take the same approach to the scrutiny of Government as Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Government have taken to the delivery of Government. Good government is improved by better scrutiny. We need to ensure that the structures are in place within this Parliament to ensure that this Parliament is not made redundant and a bystander over the next three years.
