MS SZUTY (10.00): I again note that the working party was not supportive of this amendment of Mrs Carnell's, but I call to mind a number of debates we have had in this Assembly on the entry to premises provisions that have come up from time to time in relation to particular pieces of legislation. I also note that the Scrutiny of Bills Committee did not comment on this particular item, so I guess that the committee felt that it was actually in line with reasonable powers of entry that we have paid some attention to in the past. Nonetheless, I believe that Mrs Carnell's amendments are sensible amendments and, given the level of debate that we have had on these particular issues in the past, I will be supporting Mrs Carnell's amendments at this time. Mr Connolly has also said that there will be a general review of entry to premises provisions at some time in the future. It seems to me that if there are problems with this particular provision they can be revisited at some stage in the future.
