Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3—previously considered
So, from a clarity of law perspective, the role of our committee, then, is not just to highlight it, but to follow it up and make sure that the Government is going to make the necessary changes.

Okay, so that might well be something that we want to return to, because we're quite used to tracking and harrying the Government to make these changes, as they've said, at the next available opportunity there. We'd want to see when that was. Adam.

Thank you very much. That's a really important point. Okay, we have that on record. We might want to return to that in private session for further discussion, but it's good that we've got that on record. Thank you, Gareth. Are we happy to agree those…

We'll go on, then, to item No. 5, which is instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3 that we've previously considered. We have a couple of items here. Item 5.1 is in respect of the Agricultural Holdings…

We'll go on, then, to item No. 4, instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3. We begin with item 4.1—again, it's the only item within this section—SL(6)447, the Government of Wales Act 2006 (Budget Motions and…

Okay, we're coming back now into public session of the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee, this afternoon's session. We've just had an evidence session for the Member's Bill, the Residential Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill, with Sam Rowlands and…

Residential Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill: Evidence Session
Colleagues, do you want to take a short break, or do you want to proceed straight on? Sam, we'll let you and your officials leave. Okay, what we'll do is we'll literally take a minute so that we can rearrange the furniture in here. Diolch.

Very good. Thank you very much. Well, can I thank you, Sam, and your colleagues as well, for appearing in front of us today? We really appreciate it. We like to see private Member's Bills coming forward, as well, and, as Adam was saying, for us to learn from…

Okay. Well, brilliant. Well, look, echoing what Adam said earlier on—I'm sure we all feel it as a committee—it's commendable to get to this stage. It's quite a labour of love to get any Bill to this moment and there are plenty more steps in front of you as…

And we will come forward, I'm sure, with something.

Stop throwing it back at us. Have you got any amendments in mind? [Laughter.]
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee

Okay. Thank you. And can you give us a preview? Or are you thinking of any amendments to bring forward if this does pass the initial stages? Have you already got amendments in mind?
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Residential Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill: Evidence Session
Okay, let's turn to the last few questions, then, in the minutes that we have. I'll ask colleagues as well if they've got any further questions for you then, as well. Looking ahead a little bit now, if this receives the approval of the Senedd and we get to…

And on the same theme, actually, as I'm listening to what is a very cogent explanation of where the landscape of the sector currently is, and the journey that they’re on, what strikes me is that we’re not only looking at a legislative vehicle coming forward…

—unless your colleagues do have something they can help us with already. If they don't, that's fine; by all means write to us.
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Residential Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill: Evidence Session
Yes, indeed, that would be fine—
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee

That would be helpful, because it's not a question of whether these are the right things to mandate; it's whether they should be mandated within guidance and whether you have precedent for that that would help us.

Thank you. But, Sam, we note your comments on why this is your preferred mechanism as well. I mentioned there right at the outset that the Llywydd has already expressed a view on competence, but can I just ask you, as the Member bringing the Bill forward: do…
