[15] Scrutiny by the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee (formed of Huw Irranca-Davies, Alun Davies, Rhys ab Owen and Peter Fox)[16]: 2 also resulted in a report published on the same day.
[16]: 32 The report concluded that the bill was not "an appropriate legislative vehicle" to make the needed changes and that amendments through primary legislation would be preferable,[16]: 32–37 and recommended that the government table amendments to include a sunset clause before July 2027 and a statutory review within two years,[16]: 37–38 as well as changing and clarifying specific parts of the bill.
