Yes, okay, I want to pick up on one area, which is on the single person discount. You are replacing the single person discount in primary legislation with a power for Welsh Ministers to make regulations on this. Why are you doing that?

I've got just one final question here today. Does the Government consider that any of the provisions of the Bill require the consent of His Majesty the King or the Prince of Wales?
11 Rhagfyr 2023 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Bil Cyllid Llywodraeth Leol (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes. I've only got one question, Chair, if that's okay. Would you anticipate any of the proposed powers in this Bill—for example, in relation to reliefs and exemptions—being used to amend existing powers of the Welsh Ministers in primary legislation?

It just feels a little bit, Minister, like it was not ideal before and it's not going to be ideal now, just a little bit better. We've had another Government Minister come in and say that half the Senedd Members don't even understand some of the…

A final question, Cadeirydd, if it's okay. One thing you talked about earlier, Minister, was improved scrutiny. You said that because a lot of this has been done by the UK Parliament it really hasn't had that much Senedd oversight of it. But, we are here as a…

Okay, that's fine. You also said a bit earlier that changes are needed as soon as possible, so we can enable things to happen. But why aren't more changes being made in the Bill, instead of you taking a lot of powers to make these changes at a future date by…

Bil Cyllid Llywodraeth Leol (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
You were talking earlier about the reason why you need to legislate and why it's now clear why you had to do it, but I'm interested why those things are not on the face of the Bill.

Yes. Minister, following on from what Alun was saying about delegated powers, and the wide range of delegated powers that Ministers are going to have with this Bill, are you satisfied that it strikes the right balance between providing sufficient detail on…

We hear time and time again in the Chamber from Ministers, from the Welsh Government, about the significant financial challenges that the budget of the Welsh Government is facing. The Minister, Jeremy Miles, mentioned this when my colleague Sam Rowlands…

Okay. Through the consultation that the Member in charge ran, a lot of parents had anxiety issues about sending their children, and some children also have anxiety issues about going on residential outdoor educational visits. I know when I was younger I was a…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. One thing we've seen in the Bill—it was a previous session that we had with the Member in charge, Sam Rowlands—is the Bill doesn't include any costs for shoes, for additional coats. Heledd and I were talking about this just outside, and…

This is my last question, Sam. As you know, mental health is a major thing that I focus on quite a lot here. One thing that came up in the consultation and the young person's consultation shows that there are anxiety issues with children and especially their…

So, that would be an additional cost to Government, then, wouldn't it—if this Bill comes in and these were essential items that needed to be provided, it would be an additional cost the Government would have to fund.

Okay, because in the consultation, one of the barriers that was identified was the cost of—. I know how much a good pair of walking boots cost and a good coat, and they're not cheap, but these costs weren't included on the face of the Bill. So, I'm just…
