Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Bill Minutes: Business Managers confirmed their in principle
decision of 22 November to refer the Additional Learning Needs and Education
Tribunal (Wales) Bill to the Children, Young People and Education Committee for
Stage 1 consideration. However, in light of the response from the committee
that it would be extremely difficult to effectively scrutinise the Bill in the
time allocated by the Government, Business Managers agreed to extend the
deadline for Stage 1 consideration by two sitting weeks, from 7 April to 12 May
2017 and to extend the deadline for Stage 2 proceedings from 30 June to 14 July
2017. |

Any Other Business The Presiding Officer reminded Business Managers that
Members should remove their names from the ballot for OAQs, if they do not
intend to table questions. Entering the ballot and then not tabling a question
deprives other Members of the opportunity to do so. |
