Group 5: Social Partnership Council: duration of appointments (Amendments 36, 73, 39)
Thank you, Chair. Whilst I understand the Deputy Minister's views, having such requirements woven into the legislation can play an integral role in guaranteeing a minimum level of performance from proceedings, and it is unfortunate that the Minister clearly…

Group 5: Social Partnership Council: duration of appointments (Amendments 36, 73, 39)

Group 3: Social Partnership Council: employer representatives (Amendments 14, 20, 23, 24, 49, 50, 52)
The question is that amendment 28 be agreed to. Does any Member object? [Objection.] All those in favour of amendment 28. All those against. One Member in favour, five against. Amendment 28 falls.

Thank you, Chair. Again, it's unfortunate that these amendments are not being supported. I believe that depriving the SPC of the widest possible range of views will only serve to harm its performance in the long run. Thank you.

Group 2: Social Partnership Council: political representatives (Amendments 13, 17, 19, 21, 26, 30, 33, 37, 51)
Thank you, Chair. It's unfortunate, but not surprising, that the Minister and others haven't supported these amendments, but, unless you have voices that represent the diversity of opinion in Wales, it is not really a social partnership. And I'm concerned…

Thank you, Chair. Turning to my amendments, which comprise the entirety of this group, amendments 13, 17, 19, 21, 26 and 30 serve to increase the political representation on the social partnership council, therefore enabling a wider range of voices to be…
