Rhun ap Iorwerth.

A brief point of order.

Members will have been made aware that, during this Stage 3 debate this evening, there has been confirmation of a significant increase in confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Wales: seven new infections found after contact tracing took place in relation to the man from Neath Port Talbot who tested positive at the weekend; two residents of Carmarthenshire who'd returned from Italy. Now, under Standing Order 12.16 relating to business that can be scheduled without notice, can I ask that a statement be made by the Minister for health, perhaps at the beginning of Plenary tomorrow? This is a significant development, I think, and we need to schedule room for it on the agenda as soon as possible—given that, for obvious reasons, the Minister has not been able to prepare in the last few hours to give a statement this evening.

The Minister.

It is worth perhaps reflecting on the fact that questions for myself have been moved to the first item of Assembly business tomorrow afternoon. That is to ensure that not only can I answer questions to Members, but also I do, then, have time to attend the COBRA call that is taking place tomorrow afternoon with other Governments across the United Kingdom. I'm sure we'll have ample opportunity to answer questions on coronavirus—it is on the order paper in question 2—in addition to what spokespeople may wish to ask during their own questions.

Thank you. That clarifies that we will be returning to this issue first thing in our agenda tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone and goodnight.
