If we can all come to order, we start this afternoon's proceedings with a nomination for the Chair of the Finance Committee. Following the Chair of the Finance Committee becoming vacant, I invite nominations under Standing Order 17.2F for the election of a new Chair. The Business Committee has decided that the Chair should remain allocated to the Plaid Cymru group. Only a member of that political group may be nominated as a Chair, and only a member of the same political group may make the nominations. So, therefore, I invite nominations for the Chair of the Finance Committee.

Diolch. Are there any further nominations? Llyr Gruffydd has been nominated for the position of the Chair of the Finance Committee. [Applause.] Well, I was going to ask you: does any Member object? I was pointing out, because I could hear people asking, but I take it from that that you don't. But I will have to ask: does any Member object to the nomination? No. Therefore, Llyr is elected as the Chair of the Finance Committee. So, diolch for that, and congratulations, Llyr. So, there we go.
