Cyflwyniad, Ymddiheuriadau, Dirprwyon a Datgan Buddiannau
Introduction, Apologies, Substitutions and Declarations of Interest

[1] David Melding: Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to this meeting of the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee. I do expect a full attendance of the committee, as long as Members have been able to battle through the adverse weather conditions. So, I’m sure our colleagues will join us later. And, as I speak, colleagues join us. You’re in time even for the housekeeping announcements, and I know how much you look forward to them.

[2] We don’t expect a routine fire alarm. If we hear the bell, please follow the instructions of the ushers. Switch off all electronic devices or put them on silent, please. These proceedings will be conducted in Welsh and English and, when Welsh spoken, there is a translation on channel 1. Channel 0 will amplify our proceedings.

[3] 14:34

Offerynnau nad ydynt yn Cynnwys Materion i Gyflwyno Adroddiad Arnynt o dan Reol Sefydlog 21.2 neu 21.3
Instruments that Raise no Reporting Issues under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3

[4] David Melding: We move, then, to item 2, which is instruments that raise no reporting issues. There are quite a lot of them. They are listed. If Members don’t have any comments, can I move then to item 3?

Offerynnau sy’n Cynnwys Materion i Gyflwyno Adroddiad Arnynt i’r Cynulliad o dan Reol Sefydlog 21.2 neu 21.3
Instruments that Raise Issues to be Reported to the Assembly under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3

[5] David Melding: Instruments that raise reporting issues under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3? There is one there on the Reservoirs Act 1975. Are we content?

Is-ddeddfwriaeth sy’n Cynnwys Materion i Gyflwyno Adroddiad Arnynt i’r Cynulliad o dan Reol Sefydlog 21.7
Subordinate Legislation that Raises Issues to be Reported to the Assembly under Standing Order 21.7

[6] David Melding: Then there’s subordinate legislation that raises issues under Standing Order 21.7, and that’s statutory guidance in relation to violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence. Are we content? Okay.

Papurau i’w Nodi
Papers to Note

[7] David Melding: We move to papers to note. There’s a letter from David Lidington, the Minister of State for Europe, outlining why he’s not able to attend an evidence session. We might want to discuss this further when we deliberate on our next stage in terms of the EU inquiry. Paper 9 is the Wales Governance Centre and Constitution Unit report, ‘Challenge and Opportunity: The Draft Wales Bill 2015’. It’s a very useful report and it does quote our work quite extensively. I’m sure that Members will be pleased to see that. There is a copy of the letter from the Minister for Health and Social Services on the public health Bill, responding to the recommendations. I don’t think there’s anything startlingly unexpected in the response, but it’s there for you to note. Then, the final paper to note is a transcript of the Welsh Grand Committee, which met on 3 February to discuss the draft Wales Bill. It’s just for your general information, but, again, our work was referred to quite extensively in the debate.

14:36

Cynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42 (ix) i Benderfynu Gwahardd y Cyhoedd o’r Cyfarfod
Motion under Standing Order 17.42 (ix) to Resolve to Exclude the Public from the Meeting

Cynnig:

Motion:

bod y pwyllgor yn penderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 17.42(vi).

that the committee resolves to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting in accordance with Standing Order 17.42(vi).

Cynigiwyd y cynnig.
Motion moved.

[8] David Melding: Right, if there are no comments on the papers to note, I move the relevant Standing Order that we conduct the rest of our proceedings in private unless any Member objects. I don’t see any Member objecting. So, please switch off the broadcasting equipment. We don’t have anyone the public gallery, so I don’t have to clear it.

Derbyniwyd y cynnig.
Motion agreed.

Daeth rhan gyhoeddus y cyfarfod i ben am 14:36.
The public part of the meeting ended at 14:36.
