Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:32 pm on 14 December 2016.
I have accepted a third urgent question under Standing Order 12.66, and, before I ask Adam Price to ask the question, I want to thank the Deputy Presiding Officer for responding comprehensively to the point of order earlier this afternoon. I would only add that it’s fair to say that I’m always going to be minded to accept urgent questions when I believe Members deserve an opportunity to scrutinise a Government announcement of major public importance. As the Deputy Presiding Officer stated, the urgency of that scrutiny can be heightened by the approach of recess.
It’s possible that Members may be aware that the Business Committee will be looking at our procedures for questions on both urgent and topical issues in the new year, and I will be very eager to hear the opinions of the Members on the reforms that we’ll need to our procedures.
I now call on Adam brys—[Laughter.]—Adam Price to ask his urgent question.
