Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. We considered these regulations at our meeting on 13 January and we laid our report before the Assembly on 14 January. Our report raised one merits point under Standing Order 21.3. We noted and welcomed the thorough information provided in the explanatory memorandum to the regulations. In addition, we noted how the regulations, which were laid on 10 December 2019, rely on the Government of Wales Act 2006 (Amendment) (Order) 2019. This Order did not come into force until 18 December 2019. We agreed that it was appropriate to lay these regulations before the section 109 Order was made in order to give the Assembly sufficient time for scrutiny. Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd.
