National Assembly for Wales (Legislative Competence) (Welsh Language)

I, for one, do feel that this process is ensuring that the matter is given appropriate scrutiny, given how important it is, particularly to small business in my constituency, which want to be reassured that we have analysed the arrangements. Many of us were concerned about the LCO process when we debated it a couple of years ago, so will he reinforce for the record his belief that what we are doing now sets an important precedent in ensuring that we may have similarly important legislation in future? It would be assumed that whatever colour the Government, the House has the right to make the sort of input that we are making today. Nobody should think less of the importance of dealing with such issues correctly while not obfuscating the process of passing LCOs.
