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

I am grateful for the role that the hon. Gentleman played as a member of the Welsh Affairs Committee in improving the original draft LCO. What is envisaged, although the matter is for the Assembly, is a challenge mechanism, for which the Assembly would legislate in the Measure. That mechanism would provide a court of appeal for anyone who felt that a duty was being imposed as a result of the LCO—either how the LCO was drafted and applied to them, or how it was being implemented. The matter is entirely one for the Assembly, but I do not think that anyone is envisaging a huge legal construct. Ultimately, if someone felt hard done by, any provision could be judicially reviewed.
