Therefore, we move on to group 5 of amendments. These amendments relate to drafting corrections. The lead amendment in this group is amendment 2, and I call on Llyr Gruffydd to move and speak to the lead amendment and the other amendments in the group.

Amendment 2 (Llyr Gruffydd) moved.

Thank you, Llywydd. I move amendment 2 and will speak to the other amendments in the group too. This is a group of amendments that address a small number of drafting corrections. For example, amendments 2 and 13 ensure that all references to 'discontinuing an investigation' are consistent in the Welsh text. Amendment 7 deletes a superfluous word in the Welsh text. Amendment 10 inserts the word 'neu'—'or'—at the end of a specific section. And, finally, amendment 12 corrects a minor drafting error in the Bill with reference to a sub-section rather than a section. So, we very much hope that, as these are minor drafting issues, Members will support the amendments.

I'm very happy to support these amendments.

Llyr doesn't need to respond, therefore, the question is that amendment 2 be agreed to. Does any Member object? No. Amendment 2 is therefore agreed.

Amendment agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.
