Clause 7
Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [Lords]
4:00 pm
Cheryl Gillan (Shadow Secretary of State for Wales, Wales; Chesham and Amersham, Conservative)
May I welcome you to the Chair, Mr. Williams? I gather that it is your first time in Committee and I hope that, like your predecessor in the Chair this morning, you will have little trouble from this Committee and your chairmanship will sail by.
I rise briefly on this clause to ask the Minister what, if any, barriers lie to changing schedule 3. Obviously the Assembly may, by order, amend schedule 3, but is there any limit to the number of times that schedule 3 can be altered? Can it be altered as and when the Assembly believes that there needs to be an omission or a change of description? With what frequency is it envisaged that the power will be used?
