Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 6:09 pm on 11 January 2022.
Thank you, Llywydd. May I just respond and thank both contributors to the debate? Just to respond to the point made by Sioned Williams, I agree that it's not desirable that the scrutiny and decision-making processes of this Parliament are reliant on the timetable of the Westminster, Parliament. I have explained how that has caused an element of delay in bringing forward these LCMs, which isn't desirable, and not one of us would want to see that, of course. But, what I would say in the context of this specific memorandum is that now, given that discussions between ourselves and the Westminster Government have borne fruit in the sense that they have responded to our requests as amendments, I'm pleased to be able to say that it's just a very slight issue that now remains on the face of the Bill and which requires the consent of this Senedd.
