Government of Wales Bill

I would imagine that it would not happen every year. It would be a rare occurrence, for something like a major animal health problem, such as an outbreak of foot and mouth. It is rare for us to truncate our scrutiny of a particular problem. Amendments Nos. 172, 173 and 171 relate to private Assembly Measures, and I recognise the comments made by the hon. Member for Beaconsfield. The provisions are similar to those that apply in this place to private and hybrid Bills, by which a special Committee is set up to take evidence. That is the thought behind them. On amendment No. 174, we would be amazed if the Assembly did not produce its Measures in both languages. We have a simple reason for resisting the amendment. The Assembly may, on occasion, want to introduce a Measure on public health, for example, which lists dozens of micro-organisms known only by their Latin names. Would hon. Members want us to convert those into English and Welsh? Let me give the assurance, however, that we would expect any Measure to be produced in English and Welsh.
