Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 6:59 pm on 7 March 2023.
Diolch, Llywydd. As this is the final group of amendments, I'd like to take this opportunity to place on the record my thanks to Peredur Owen Griffiths and the team for the way in which we've been able and the spirit in which we've been able to work together and to seek solutions in partnership in developing this legislation. Whilst I'm also surprised that Joel James has found the experience enjoyable, I'm nonetheless pleased that he has.
The Government is happy to support an amendment that would allow for the procurement contracts register requirements to be altered in the future. So, I agree with Peredur’s suggestion that a regulation-making power of this type would be useful in terms of futureproofing the procurement contracts register requirements so that we can add to these in the future, should the need arise. On that basis, the Government will support amendments 10 and 11.
