Elin Jones: Can we—? [Interruption.] Can we—? Can we take a moment here? I understand that the arguments and the feelings run high on these issues from a variety of perspectives, I understand some of the shouting taking place, but I won't have people pointing in anger, and gesticulating in anger, at other people. Can we just take a moment to calm down? I'm hoping that Adam Price will contribute to...
Elin Jones: Questions now from party leaders. Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew R.T. Davies.
Elin Jones: We're going to have to listen in some quiet, so the First Minister can hear the question.
Elin Jones: Let the Member come to his question, and I'm sure he's going to very, very quickly.
Elin Jones: Welcome, all, to this Plenary meeting. The first item on our agenda this afternoon is questions to the First Minister, and the first question is from Janet Finch-Saunders.
Elin Jones: And if Members can leave the Chamber quietly if you're leaving the Chamber, so that the short debate can be heard.
Elin Jones: We will now take a vote on the motion, as amended by amendment 2.
Elin Jones: Open the vote. Close vote. In favour 39, no abstentions, 11 against, and therefore the motion as amended is agreed.
Elin Jones: That concludes voting time for today.
Elin Jones: But we do have a short debate, and I call on Luke Fletcher to speak to the topic that he has chosen.
Elin Jones: I've closed the vote.
Elin Jones: I will pause on that and check, but I think your vote will have been passed. Yes, we can confirm to you, Alun Davies, that your vote was cast and has been recorded. The final vote, then, after my casting vote, was: in favour of amendment 3 25, nobody abstaining, and against 26. So, amendment 3 falls.
Elin Jones: I call for a vote on amendment 2, tabled in the name of Darren Millar. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 39, no abstentions, 11 against. Therefore, amendment 2 is agreed.
Elin Jones: Amendment 3 is next. Amendment 3, again, is in the name of Darren Millar. Open the vote on amendment 3. The vote, once again, is tied with 25 in favour, 25 against. I use my casting vote against the amendment.
Elin Jones: The next vote is on amendment 1. If amendment 1 is agreed, amendment 2 will be deselected. I call for a vote on amendment 1, tabled in the name of Lesley Griffiths. Open the vote. Close the vote. The vote is tied: 25 in favour, 25 against, and no abstentions. Therefore, I exercise my casting vote against amendment 1. The result of the vote, therefore, is that there were 25 in favour, no...
Elin Jones: The proposal is to agree the motion without amendment. Does any Member object? [Objection.] There are objections. We will, therefore, defer voting until voting time.
Elin Jones: That brings us to voting time. Unless three Members wish for the bell to be rung, I will move immediately to the vote. So, I call for a vote on item 7. That's our first vote this evening. I call for a vote on the motion, tabled in the name of Siân Gwenllian. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 11, no abstentions and 38 against. Therefore, the motion is not agreed.
Elin Jones: You don't have to accept the intervention.
Elin Jones: Okay. He's accepting the intervention.
Elin Jones: Okay, okay. Allow Mabon ap Gwynfor to carry on with his closing.
