Government of Wales Bill

I was interested to hear the reasons why the Government have chosen to define the legislative competence of the Assembly in such a way. It will take some time to think them through because they had not been made apparent to us before today. I think that it is more definitive to set out matters on which the Assembly cannot legislate than to have a list of matters on which it can legislate that, I believe, would grow and grow. However, given that the Minister set out new reasons why the Government have adopted their approach, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
