Elin Jones: We now move to item 5, which is a statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government on tax devolution and the fiscal framework. I call on the Cabinet Secretary, Mark Drakeford.
Elin Jones: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary.
Elin Jones: We now move to the next item, the statement by the Minister for Lifelong Learning and Welsh Language on the ministerial taskforce on the Valleys. I call on the Minister, Alun Davies.
Elin Jones: Diolch. Rwyf wedi dethol y gwelliant i'r cynnig. Galwaf ar Angela Burns i gynnig gwelliant 1 a gyflwynwyd yn enw Paul Davies.
Elin Jones: I call on the Cabinet Secretary for health to reply to the debate.
Elin Jones: The proposal is to agree amendment 1. Does any Member object? [Objection.] As there is objection, I will defer voting on this item until voting time.
Elin Jones: The next item on our agenda is the debate on renaming the National Assembly. Before I call upon the First Minister to move the motion and open the debate, I would like to make a brief statement. The Assembly has become a very different place to the one elected in 1999. It now passes laws and agrees taxes, as well as holding the Government to account and providing a focal point for democratic...
Elin Jones: You can sit down [Laughter.]
Elin Jones: I have selected two amendments to the motion. I call on Bethan Jenkins to move amendments 1 and 2, tabled in her name.
Elin Jones: I now call on the First Minister to reply to the debate.
Elin Jones: Thank you, First Minister. In moving the amendments, Bethan Jenkins mentioned the fact that she didn’t want to proceed to a vote this afternoon. Could I just confirm that that’s correct in relation to both amendments?
Elin Jones: And I will agree to that, if there is no objection to not proceeding with those two amendments. There is no objection.
Elin Jones: So I will move on to ask whether there is any objection to the motion. If there is no objection to the motion, then it is accepted.
Elin Jones: Now, we move on to voting time. The first vote this afternoon is on the motions to elect Members to the seven policy and legislation committees and I call for a vote on the motions. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 47 and against five. Therefore, the motions are agreed.
Elin Jones: We move on now to a vote on the ‘Together for Mental Health’ delivery plan, and I call for a vote on amendment 1 tabled in the name of Paul Davies. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 38, abstentions six and against eight. Therefore, the amendment is agreed.
Elin Jones: We move on, now, to a vote on the motion as amended—the motion in the name of Jane Hutt.
Elin Jones: Could I open the vote? Close the vote. In favour 47, abstentions 1, and against 0. Therefore, the motion as amended is agreed.
Elin Jones: That brings proceedings to a close this afternoon.
Elin Jones: Order. I call the National Assembly to order.
Elin Jones: Before we move to our agenda this afternoon, I want to take this opportunity to wish our football team well this evening as they take on Portugal. [Applause.] The team’s victory against Belgium was thrilling and a truly momentous event in Welsh sporting and cultural history. The words of the poet Waldo came true: ‘Daw dydd y bydd mawr y rhai bychain’. We also congratulate the...
