So, the date is just so the sequence of numbering starts for a calendar year, so you'll be able to say that for the year 2026, that's the first year in which there's a Welsh statutory instrument with that number, so it's just a really straightforward…

I don't think we do, and I think we'll update the explanatory memorandum to reflect the Bill.

I think I'm going to let the officials come in here as well, Adam, but I think broadly because my predecessor went through quite a big deal with the committee about that post-legislative review, and we did all of the things that would allow that legislative…

So, we have a version that we put the seal on here. That's actually—. One of the big perks of taking a Bill through the Senedd is you get to go to the seal affixing ceremony and watch the First Minister do a ratchety thing with the seal that imprints it.

We've sought consent. Sorry, I can't listen to myself feed back. We've sought consent. We haven't got it yet, but we've had lots of consultations. We're not expecting any kind of problem. I've yet to engage with the new Secretary of State for Culture, Media…

Yes, that's true. It's one of the stages of things that I think we need to do. There is a real capacity issue and it's one of the things that—. You and I are both on the Future Senedd Committee as well. It's one of the things that I know that committee is…

Evidence session with the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery on the Legislation (Procedure, Publication and Repeals) (Wales) Bill
It's just exactly that: it's a tidying up provision, if you like. It's about accessibility, it's about allowing things to happen in Welsh law that I think some of us might be quite surprised don't happen. I have to say that I was quite surprised to find that…

Evidence session with the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery on the Legislation (Procedure, Publication and Repeals) (Wales) Bill
Thank you very much for the question. This is a technical and administrative Bill and it helps develop the elements that underpin Welsh law and help make it more accessible. The purpose is to amend the Legislation (Wales) Act 2019, which is about making and…

Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery: The Legislation (Procedure, Publication and Repeals) (Wales) Bill
I completely agree with that. I think one of the things, as we mature as an organisation and as an institution, is to continuously review our processes, and I think the way that we've started to pass these big framework Acts—it's inevitably the case that the…

Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery: The Legislation (Procedure, Publication and Repeals) (Wales) Bill
Thank you for that, Jenny. That's a very good example. There's a framework Act now that's gone through the Senedd, completed its processes, had Royal Assent, but now we need to make the subordinate legislation that brings it to life. I took that Bill through…

Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery: The Legislation (Procedure, Publication and Repeals) (Wales) Bill
Yes. Thank you very much for that, Rhys. I have to say, I share your experience: I too have been caught out exactly like that when I was still practising as a lawyer, and I also very much remember the butterflies in your tummy as you put forward a novel…

Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery: The Legislation (Procedure, Publication and Repeals) (Wales) Bill
Diolch, Adam. You make a whole series of really interesting points there. In terms of digital access, we're talking here about the changes to legislation.gov.uk, and, Dirprwy Lywydd, that does give me an opportunity to put on record how much we value that…

Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery: The Legislation (Procedure, Publication and Repeals) (Wales) Bill
Diolch, Mark. Thank you very much. I think that we agree that this is very much wanted and needed, and I’m glad that you had a look at the Law Society’s reaction to it. I wasn’t quite clear whether you had spoken to them. I have spoken to them, and I am sure…
, Plenary
Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery: The Legislation (Procedure, Publication and Repeals) (Wales) Bill
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. The Bill, though technical in nature, is intended to form an important part of the infrastructure that underpins Welsh law. Some provisions fill gaps and regularise the position of Welsh legislation, such that it is given a similar…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Yes, I don't at all disagree with the complexity of this, and it is interesting, when you start to look at particular bits of it, quite how complicated it is, I must say. It's part of the reason that we call for the devolution of justice, of course. We…

I have not yet had discussions about this issue with the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care or the Ministry of Justice since taking up my post, since it has only been a couple of weeks, but I absolutely do recognise that child contact centres play…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
So, I haven't been in post long enough to have had that conversation, but part of the new remit of my post, wider than the Counsel General role, on the delivery side of my new responsibilities, is responsibility for ensuring that the overall legislative…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Thank you very much, Jenny. Obviously, all of us want to express our sympathy to any parent that experiences any of the various perinatal or stillbirths in that circumstance. I have to say, a very dear friend of mine has had this experience only this week…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Thank you, Jenny Rathbone, for that question. Any decision to extend the remit of inquests to include perinatal deaths rests with the UK Government as coronial inquests are a reserved matter. All perinatal deaths in Wales are reported to the NHS Wales…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Thank you very much for that, Jane. I just want to correct a couple of things there. We haven’t made a decision to end it. We ran a pilot, which ended. There’s a little bit of a difference there. We are very much looking at the evaluation of that pilot. The…
