Elin Jones: Good afternoon. We will now start the meeting. The first item on this afternoon's agenda is questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government, and the first question is from Altaf Hussain.
Elin Jones: I thank the Minister.
Elin Jones: Item 9 is postponed until 4 October, and that brings today's proceedings to a close.
Elin Jones: Joyce Watson, finally.
Elin Jones: Thank you, Minister.
Elin Jones: The next item is a statement by the Minister for rural affairs on the Agriculture (Wales) Bill, and I call on the Minister to make the statement—Lesley Griffiths.
Elin Jones: You're out of time. Reading—
Elin Jones: Yes, getting to the question would help, actually. Reading out a long e-mail is not an ideal use of scrutiny in this Senedd.
Elin Jones: I thank the Minister.
Elin Jones: The next item is a statement by the Minister for Social Justice, an update on Ukraine. Jane Hutt.
Elin Jones: That concludes the business statement.
Elin Jones: We will move now to a statement by the Minister for Finance and Local Government on the response to the UK Government's financial statement. I call on the Minister to make that statement. Rebecca Evans.
Elin Jones: Thank you, Trefnydd.
Elin Jones: I'd love to see an agenda item on the Cabinet papers that was a tutorial by the Trefnydd on how to give succinct answers in oral questions. And then if that part of the bargain is kept to, I'll hold a tutorial on how to ask succinct questions by all backbenchers as well. Okay, that was 10 questions in 45 minutes. Da iawn.
Elin Jones: Item 2, then.
Elin Jones: Back on again.
Elin Jones: The Trefnydd back to make the business statement and announcement. Lesley Griffiths.
Elin Jones: The leader of Plaid Cymru, Adam Price.
Elin Jones: Questions now from the party leaders. The leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew R.T. Davies.
Elin Jones: Good afternoon and welcome to this Plenary session. The first item this afternoon is questions to the First Minister, and I've received notification under Standing Order 12.58 that the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd, will answer questions on behalf of the First Minister this afternoon. The first question is from Jayne Bryant.
