Cyflwyniad, Ymddiheuriadau, Dirprwyon a Datgan Buddiannau Introductions, Apologies, Substitutions and Declarations of Interest
[1] David Melding: Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to this meeting of the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee. I will start with the usual housekeeping announcements. We do not expect a routine fire drill, so if we hear the bell, please follow the instructions of the ushers. Can you switch all mobile devices to at least ‘silent’? These proceedings will be conducted in Welsh and English, and when Welsh is spoken there is a translation on channel 1, and channel 0 will amplify our proceedings, should you require that service.

Offerynnau nad ydynt yn Cynnwys Unrhyw Faterion i’w Codi o dan Reol Sefydlog 21.2 neu 21.3 Instruments that Raise No Reporting Issues under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
[2] David Melding: Item 2, then, is instruments that raise no reporting issues. They are listed, however. I know Gwyn wants to speak to one of them, to commend good practice, which I’m sure we are all very pleased to hear. [Laughter.] Gwyn.
[3] Mr Griffiths: Diolch, Gadeirydd. Rwyf am gyfeirio yn fyr iawn at y Rheoliadau Deddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol (Cymru) 2015 (Darpariaethau Canlyniadol) 2015. Mae’r rheoliadau yma yn gwneud darpariaethau yn ymwneud ag amserlennu paratoi adroddiadau, ac yn y blaen, yn sgil yr angen i amseru hynny yn unol â gofynion eraill, megis penodi'r comisiynydd. Ac felly, roeddwn am dynnu eich sylw chi at y rheoliadau yma, gan fod y pwyllgor yn edrych ar ddarpariaethau canlyniadol pan mae’n ystyried Biliau. Dyma enghraifft dda o’r math o ddefnydd y dylid ei wneud o’r pŵer i wneud darpariaethau canlyniadol.		Mr Griffiths: Thank you, Chair. I want to refer very briefly to the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 (Consequential Provisions) Regulations 2015. These regulations make provisions relating to timetabling the preparation of reports, and so forth, in the wake of the need to time that in accordance with other requirements, such as the appointment of the commissioner. So, I just wanted to draw your attention to these regulations, given that the committee looks at consequential provisions when it considers Bills. This is a good example of the kind of use that should be made of the power to make consequential provisions.
[4] David Melding: Duly noted, and it’s something we can point out in the future; that’s very, very helpful. Okay, if there are no other issues, we’ll move to item 3, papers to note.
14:31
Papurau i’w Nodi Papers to Note
[5] David Melding: I think the matters arising we can, perhaps, deal with in our private session, but we have there correspondence from the Secretary of State for Wales—just formal notification of the Draft Wales Bill. There’s a letter from the Presiding Officer about the Business Committee’s legacy work, and then correspondence from Lord Boswell, chair of the House of Lords European Union Committee. Both of those items relate to issues I think we do need to discuss further. So, we’re happy to note those papers.
