I haven't suggested at all for one moment that we shouldn't be able to scrutinise legislation. In fact, if you listened more carefully to what I said, I said that there were things that needed to be done to improve the current processes and the opportunities for scrutiny in terms of the policy and the memorandums that are produced. So, it's absolutely not the case. What I was saying was that LCOs are a darn sight better than where we were, and that there are useful opportunities sometimes for the Welsh Government to be able to expedite the implementation of its policies—policies that I sometimes don't agree with, in fact very often don't agree with, but sometimes it's a useful tool.
