Our report on these regulations contains two merits points. I will start with the second, which noted that there had been no consultation on the regulations. In particular, we noted a paragraph in the explanatory memorandum accompanying the regulations that states that as temporary permission to stay is a product of reserved UK Government policy—namely immigration—the Welsh Government did not consider it in this case possible to undertake a meaningful consultation on alternative approaches, as the effect of the regulations—as the Minister has indeed said—is to ensure consistency between Welsh housing law and immigration law. So, we note that.

Our first merits reporting point, however, rehearses the same point I made in the previous debate. The explanatory memorandum to the regulations was laid in English only. Before we received the relevant letter from the Permanent Secretary, which I referred to my previous contribution, we asked the Welsh Government to explain why a Welsh language version of the explanatory memorandum had not been laid for these regulations. The response we received again noted Standing Order 15.4, and stated that the Welsh Government had consulted guidance provided by the office of the Welsh Language Commissioner, and so on, and so on, to refer to the transcript of the previous debate. But as we noted before, and as per the commitment from the Permanent Secretary, the Welsh Government will now produce explanatory memoranda to Welsh subordinate legislation bilingually, following a brief bedding-in period. So, we're really grateful for that clarification.
