Business Managers agreed to schedule the next Individual Member Debate for 24 May.
Business Managers noted a revised timetable of the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Bill after agreeing outside of Committee to extend the reporting date for Stage 1 from 12 May to 24 May and the date for completion of Stage 2 from 14 July to 21 July. The Committee also agreed to a request by the Chair of the Children, Young People and Education Committee to hold an additional meeting on the afternoon of Monday 8 May to consider the evidence received during Stage 1, and the draft report.
Business Managers noted a letter from the Chair of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee informing them that they will not be reporting on the LCM on Prisons and Courts Bill in light of the fact that the Children, Young People and Education Committee has considered and will be reporting on Clauses 4-6: Prisons and Probation Ombudsman; investigations of deaths in secure children’s homes. Jane Hutt noted that this Bill would not now proceed further in Westminster given the impending dissolution of Parliament.
In light of Mark Reckless leaving the UKIP group, the Llywydd informed Business Managers that a paper on the effect this will have on Committees will be circulated prior to next week’s meeting, when Business Managers will need to consider how to fill the vacancies.
