Elin Jones: We’ve definitely started, I think, on this journey. Thank you, Counsel General.
Elin Jones: The next item is the legislative consent motion on the Criminal Finances Bill. I call on the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government to move the motion. Mark Drakeford.
Elin Jones: I call on the Chair of the Finance Committee, Simon Thomas.
Elin Jones: I call on the Cabinet Secretary to respond to the debate.
Elin Jones: The proposal is to agree the motion. Does any Member object? The motion is therefore agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.
Elin Jones: The next item is the Supplementary Legislative Consent Motion (No. 2) on the Children and Social Work Bill. I call on the Minister for Social Services and Public Health to move the motion—Rebecca Evans.
Elin Jones: I have no speakers in the debate and I’m therefore presuming that the Minister does not wish to respond to the debate that did not happen. Felly, y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn y cynnig? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Felly, derbynnir y cynnig yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 12.36.
Elin Jones: The next item is the Non-Domestic Rating (Chargeable Amounts) (Wales) Regulations 2016. I call on the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government, Mark Drakeford.
Elin Jones: I call on the Cabinet Secretary to respond to the debate.
Elin Jones: The proposal is to agree the motion. Does any Member object? [Objection.] I will defer voting under this item until voting time.
Elin Jones: The next item is the Social Care Wales (Extension of Meaning of ‘Social Care Worker’) Regulations 2016, and the Social Care Wales (Specification of Social Care Workers) (Registration) Regulations 2016. In accordance with Standing Order 12.24, I propose that the following two motions under items 10 and 11 are grouped for debate. Does any Member object?
Elin Jones: Therefore, I call the Minister for Social Services and Public Health to move the motions—Rebecca Evans.
Elin Jones: I thank the Minister. I have no speakers on this item on these regulations. Therefore, I assume that the Minister doesn’t want to reply to the debate. The proposal, therefore, is that the motion be agreed under item 10. Does any Member object? Therefore, the motion is agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.
Elin Jones: The next proposal is that the motion under item 11 should be agreed. Does any Member object? The motion is, therefore, agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.
Elin Jones: The next item on our agenda is voting time. We have a single vote on the Non-Domestic Rating (Chargeable Amounts) (Wales) Regulations 2016. Therefore, I call for a vote on that motion tabled in the name of Jane Hutt. Open the vote. Close the vote. For 25, 27 abstentions and none against. Therefore, the motion is agreed.
Elin Jones: That brings today’s proceedings to a close.
Elin Jones: I call the National Assembly to order.
Elin Jones: The first item this afternoon is questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs, and the first question, Dawn Bowden.
Elin Jones: That’s the incorrect question. Huw Irranca-Davies.
Elin Jones: Questions now from party spokespeople to the Cabinet Secretary. The Welsh Conservatives’ spokesperson, Paul Davies.
