Fire alarms and false alarms
On with the scrutiny then, though not before this morning's so-called Technical Briefing in the Senedd - where we get to ask what we think are clever questions and officials get to sigh loudly before answering them - was interrupted by a fire alarm.
That it was a false alarm turned out to be good news. That the announcement telling us so was in English only? Not so good.
"You never know. They may even give us the powers to make sure our own services are bilingual" muttered the official who didn't want anything to go wrong today.
So who'll have the job of carrying out the pre-legislative scrutiny on the Welsh Language LCO? The membership of the new "Legislation Committee Number 5" could be crucial after all.
The names we've heard mentioned are Labour's Alun Davies and Lesley Griffiths, Plaid's Leanne Wood, Mark Isherwood and Darren Millar for the Conservatives and Liberal Democrat Mick Bates.
Who'll chair? "A pipe-smoking North Walian" is the clue. Either Lesley Griffiths has adopted some strange habits or it's ... Better not, just in case his wife doesn't know he smokes ...
