I appreciate—and I'll come back to Darren in a second—I appreciate, and I've heard it twice, this Bill will focus on the candidates list, but the purpose—if I remember rightly; I've heard it several times—is to actually produce a balanced Senedd. So, the…

Okay. I understand that, that it's independent from you. But, at this point in time, there is no position of the Government to seek the advice of the Counsel General to actually review that, as to whether it goes or not. There is no plan to say to the Counsel…

I appreciate that. Because you said that there's a tight timescale in which either the Attorney-General or the Counsel General can refer it, I just wondered whether you would be looking to do that as quickly as possible so that, by the time the Order would…

I want to move on, because we've got 15 minutes left, and we haven't discussed the very important aspect of competence.

Darren, there's no reluctance in this sense. The Minister has given her answer in response to the question. We need to move on to other questions. And I do know we have time, but we do have some questions we do have to clarify.

Can I expand on that a little bit? In the previous Bill, for which we had Stage 3 yesterday, we did question the vacancy agenda and how we'd fill vacancies—[Inaudible.]—concerned about. Sarah has highlighted that the two possible options are where a candidate…

Can I just ask a question on that? You just mentioned that the conduct Order is likely to be published in the autumn for consultation. The timeline for this particular Bill is not to be completed until November, I think. So, will the conduct Order that is…

Before I come back to Jane, Trefnydd, you actually mentioned section 106 of the Equality Act 2010, on publishing diversity data, has the Welsh Government written—? Because that's got to be done by a Minister of the Crown. So, has the Welsh Government written…
