Thank you, Deputy Llywydd. I have a very short statement to make, because we considered this Order at our meeting on 2 December 2019 and we laid our report before the Assembly on 3 December 2019. Our report raised one merits point under Standing Order 21.3, which noted the decision made by the Welsh Government to use the lower consumer price index figure as part of the calculation of non-domestic rating bills rather than the default, and higher, retail price index figure. This mirrors the Welsh Government's approach in the equivalent Order from 2018.

Our report also notes that this Order was made under the made affirmative procedure. This means the Order, although having already been made, will not have effect unless it is approved by the Assembly and that approval must happen before the Assembly approves the local government finance report, which will take place in the new year. Diolch, Deputy Llywydd.
