Okay, well, it's reassuring to hear that through the official channels, there is some notification, some engagement going on, but it doesn't seem quite that fulsome ministerial engagement that says, 'Minister, just to give you a heads up, we're making an…

Thank you, Peter. And, Minister, before we leave this particular area of questioning, which has been really helpful, we're aware that the taskforce on innovation, growth and regulatory reform reported back in February and subsequently there was a letter to…

Thank you, Rhys. [Inaudible.]—a couple of times now, with that inter-governmental review, but we're going to hold off—[Laughter.]—for a moment, because we're going to go to Peter first of all, and Peter's going to take us into the area of some of the EU…

Yes, which goes back to those points of principle laid out by our predecessor committee on the dangers of too great a volume of legislation and regulations coming down the M4. This is just one other question before I pass to Rhys, who wants to follow on from…

So, are you content, Counsel General, that the right mechanisms are in place and that they are robust enough to, for example, resolve disagreements over whether subject matter of regulations and legislation is indeed devolved?

Do you ever have interesting discussions with portfolio holders within the Cabinet when they say to you, 'Well, look, it's essential that we get this particular item of legislation through. We haven't got an opportunity here easily to be made within the…

I'm sure that other committee members will follow up on some of these areas and may want to come in in a moment on this as well. Let me first of all ask a couple of follow-up questions. You've laid out some of the practical considerations, and we have a…

Thank you for that. It's helpful to have that succinct and clear answer, 'as far as practicable'. As you'll be aware from concerns from the predecessor committee of this committee that—. It raised its concerns that because of some of the UK, if you…

Yes, please, Llyr. I just didn’t want to go too far before we picked up on the point that Ian made on earlier on about the impact of staycations. So, I’m just rewinding a little bit. That was fascinating to me as somebody who, formally, as the environment…

Thank you, Chair. I thought what I was going to ask was going to be a little unfair, Llyr, but, as James introduced the very question I was going to ask, I'm going to put it now with no fear at all. I wanted to turn to the issue of affordable housing and…
