Government of Wales Bill

I wonder whether the Minister could resolve one particular Delphic matter which is contained in the Explanatory Notes. I refer to the heading on page 65: ““DETAILED COMMENTARY ON CLAUSES IN PART 3””. Having explained that procedural irregularities or invalidity will,"““not render the Measure invalid and it will still be law””," the final sentence on page 65 reads:"““However, it is thought—" I emphasise the words ““it is thought””—"““that this subsection will not save a purported Assembly Measure which has not been passed at all by the Assembly because, in those circumstances, clause 92(2) would not have been complied with””." Could the Minister be slightly less Delphic and say whether, rather than being thought, it is actually definitive?
