We'll come back to it, and if we decide to take some action because of it, we might return to it. But are you happy with agreeing the action points? You are. Great. Let's go to item 3.3. It's an affirmative resolution instrument: the Food and Feed…

Okay. And we've heard that sort of explanation before; it's not unprecedented that we have that on something that's very narrow, very short. [Interruption.] Well, we can return to this, actually, in private discussion, but it is an interesting one. When it's…

Okay. Can we agree with that technical reporting point there? We can. So, we go on to item 3.2, the National Health Service (Charges to Overseas Visitors) (Amendment) (No. 4) (Wales) Regulations 2022. And again, any significant issues with this? Any issues…

Croeso nôl. We're back in public session this afternoon with the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee, having just had an evidence session. We took a short break, but now we are back to our agenda, and we're on to item 3, which, as normal, are…

Evidence session with Lord Bellamy KC, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice: Justice in Wales
Now, colleagues, can I suggest that, at this moment, if you're happy, we will take a very short break from public proceedings, and then we'll reconvene in 10 minutes. Good. Thank you very much.

Good. Well, I'm glad you're going there—that really is welcome as well. Thank you so much. We'll send you a transcript. If it's not too much of an imposition, if there are areas that we just want to follow up on, we might write to you as well.

It's still a Bill. [Laughter.] It's soft and—. It's being moulded as we speak, but you're holding out the hope that it's still a Bill.

And as the analysis has been done—. So, the worry is: will ever everything that needs to be within it, will there be things that are missed or omitted by chance or error, or simply because of time pressures? So, can I ask you quite seriously, do you have any…

Evidence session with Lord Bellamy KC, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice: Justice in Wales
Thank you for that answer. It might be that we try and take the opportunity as a committee, or committees, to glean some information from some of the expert advice that is out there in legal and civil society in Wales on their concerns that they currently…

Okay, thank you. We are over time. We've only got a couple of other questions, and we'd like to get them in. We really appreciate the generosity of you spending a few more minutes with us; we're nearly there—we are. Can I just ask, Peredur, James, is there…

That's very welcome indeed. Thanks, James. That was really helpful. As you say, quite rightly, you can't be marking your own homework, so we're not going to probe into the independent review of criminal legal aid today. But, can I just—? Aside of that, you…
