Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Thank you very much for that question, Adam. I’m not aware, I’m afraid, of whether the Welsh Government has had that specific discussion on the Crown Estate. I will make enquiries and come back to you. We are of course still looking to see what aspects of the…

We're not currently having any discussion that I'm aware of with the Law Commission on this point. We have been discussing as a Cabinet the various issues around conflicting policy areas, and that will continue. I will write to you, Mark, about whether we…

Thank you, Mark. It's a very important point and a very important report as well. So, I have had a very recent discussion with my colleagues the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice and the Deputy First Minister around the further devolution of youth justice…

Thank you for the question, Mark—it’s a very important question. I have now met with the Law Society. I actually met with them just very shortly after the last question session. We had a long discussion, a very useful discussion, about level 7…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Well, I just fundamentally disagree with your characterisation of what’s happened in the UK budget. I don’t think, as the First Minister just said in First Minister’s questions, that it’s helpful at all to do the kind of scaremongering that you’ve just done…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Yes, as a Cabinet, we welcome the significant investment announced in the UK budget and the additional funding this will bring to Wales. The Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language will provide more detail later today, and we are working through its…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Yes. That's a very good question, Alun. So, there is a Cabinet office inside the Welsh Government and that Cabinet office works to the First Minister, and my role is to assist that Cabinet office in its functions. It is to make sure that the Cabinet office…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Thank you, Alun. The First Minister set out the Government’s priorities in her statement on 17 September. It remains the responsibility of the relevant portfolio Cabinet Secretaries to lead the delivery of these priorities. My role provides my Cabinet…

'I don't know', Chair, is the answer, but I will find out.

It doesn't feel to me as if there's an agreement between the Government and the Senedd and Business Committee about what the definition of those things is. So, if I were to suddenly say, 'This is an expedited process', there'd be a long drawn-out conversation…

Evidence session with the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery on the Legislation (Procedure, Publication and Repeals) (Wales) Bill
Absolutely. But it's one of the things that we'll want to discuss again as part of the future Senedd thing, and also with the Business Committee. So, if you go back to my timetable for the legislative programme—and bearing in mind that's assuming that the…

The second one. Basically, the current building regulations completely supersede the Measure, really, and there was one last bit that was to do with sprinklers in care homes that has just gone through, so it basically now doesn't do anything. I have to pay…

Yes, it'll be next year. I can't be more definite than that at the moment, but we are working to make sure that we can bring the First Minister's legislative statement as early as possible next year. It would be our normal practice to do it at the end of the…

That's really straightforward. It's preparatory to the consolidation Act. We want to consolidate existing up-to-date law and not obsolete law, so this is just taking the opportunity to get rid of some of the obsolete provisions prior to the consolidation. So…

Put in terms that I understood, anyway, it's to make sure that we haven't left anything out and that everything that happens will then be subject to one of the three procedures that are set out in the Bill. So, it's a catch-all, isn't it?
