Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [HL]

My Lords, we on these Benches support the amendment. As the noble Lord, Lord Roberts of Conwy, said, the intention is to keep as close an eye as possible on the effectiveness of the commissioner’s activities. As with every post, one learns from experience. We will see where the strengths of the posts lie and where its failings might be. We may need to alter and look again at the remit and the operation of the commissioner’s post. We support the amendment and we are sorry that ““and monitor”” has come out of Clause 5. We hope that the Government will think again and insert ““and monitor”” after ““review””.
