Clause 8 - Commencement, short title and extent
Children's Commissioner for Wales Bill

Mr Richard Livsey (Brecon and Radnorshire, Liberal Democrat)
I support the amendment. Young people are sensitive about how they are described, but it is not politically incorrect to describe them as youths. If one looks, for example, at transgressions, such as young people not being paid properly in workplaces where statutory legislation has to be enforced. That can occur with the Agricultural Wages Board for England and Wales, with which I have dealt in the past. It must be a good thing to describe those young people as ``youth''. The same applies to what was said earlier about the services. Aspects of the services in Wales can be described as ``youth'' services; they too have rights. Amendment No. 47 is a grown-up amendment; we support it.
