Thank you, Llywydd, and I'm not surprised that the Deputy Minister's yet again rejected my amendment. It's clear that the Deputy Minister and the Welsh Government are not open to any transparency whatsoever and it is becoming very obvious that the Welsh Government wants the SPC to not have any independence of thought whatsoever. Indeed, the Welsh Government want it to be a closed group that may well have the appearance of an advisory council, but will ultimately be nothing more than a lickspittle for the establishment, telling the Government only what it wants to hear and to offer as little scrutiny as possible. Thank you.
