We now move on to the Welsh Conservative debate on concessionary bus and travel for young people, and I call for a vote on the motion tabled in the name of Paul Davies. If the proposal is not agreed to, we will vote on the amendments tabled to that motion. Open the vote. Close the vote. For the motion 24, no abstentions, against the motion 26. Therefore, that motion is not agreed—[Interruption.] Can we have some quiet while we are carrying out the votes?
