It's because we have 13 sitting weeks to complete the first part, so that's why we are in that position. Perhaps we can discuss that later. Could we move on to Buffy again, sorry? Buffy Williams.

Okay, that would be really helpful. Thank you, Minister. And finally from me: what assessment have you made of the United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020's effect on the Bill's provision?

Y Bil Addysg Drydyddol ac Ymchwil (Cymru)—sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Thank you. I've just got a couple more questions. Regulation-making powers leave considerable scope to adjust policy. Will you be publishing draft regulations to allow the Senedd to scrutinise them, and the Bill as a whole?

Thank you, Minister. Just following on from that, you talked about continuity. So, is continuity the reason why there wasn't a more thorough and fundamental clean-slate approach to the legislation? After six years of developing it, it could have been—. You…

Thank you. So, in its paper to the committee, the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales argued that much existing legislation has simply been hard-wired into this new Bill. Why is new legislation needed?
