Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. The Culture, Welsh Language, Communications, Sport and International Relations Committee has considered this legislative consent motion. We as a committee were concerned about the lack of time that we originally were given to consider its full implications, because the Bill, as we've already heard, will have far-reaching implications. And although we were ultimately given an extension, the timetable was changed after our committee reported on legislative consent, and due to the seriousness of the issues that emanate from the Bill, we as a committee wanted to take our time to hear more evidence from stakeholders, including Welsh Ministers and Westminster Ministers. However, this was not possible, unfortunately, due to the original timetabling.

Although I understand that the expedited legislative process for this Bill was partly responsible for the timetabling, it's also true that the Welsh Government has been sitting on this LCM for longer than usual. We as a committee acknowledge the reasons why this happened, but, despite this, we felt that the time allocated to us to scrutinise the LCM was the bare minimum, as compared to the time that the Welsh Government had to consider it. As we've already discussed and heard, we are very aware of the reasons why this happened, but we would want to note that, in the future, we do feel as a committee that it would it be vital for the Government to allocate sufficient time to committees to be able to scrutinise LCMs in full, particularly those with so many serious implications.
