Good afternoon and a warm welcome to this Plenary session. Before we formally begin, may I ask you to take account of a few issues? This is a Plenary meeting held by video-conference in accordance with the Standing Orders of the National Assembly for Wales, and it constitutes proceedings of the Assembly for the purposes of the Government of Wales Act 2006. Some of the provisions of Standing Order 34 will apply for today's Plenary meeting, and these are noted on your agenda. I wish to remind Members that Standing Orders relating to order in Plenary meetings apply to this meeting and also the new time limits on the length of questions that have been applied to this meeting, as communicated to Members yesterday.

Before we move to our agenda, I wish to deal with two points of order. The first on unparliamentary language. A point of order was raised at the end of Wednesday's Plenary meeting regarding off-camera comments made by the Minister for Health and Social Services. I wish to call on the Minister to contribute at this point—Vaughan Gething.

Thank you, Llywydd. Obviously, the comments in question after my statement had concluded were not intended for broadcast or entry onto the record. I did speak with the Member for Cardiff Central on the day in question to apologise, and I'm grateful to her for accepting my apology. I am, of course, happy to withdraw the remarks and provide the apology to the Assembly and the Presiding Office that is plainly required, and I hope it helps all of us to move on and deal with matters in a more appropriate manner in the future, including, of course, myself.

Thank you, Minister.

The next point of order was a point of order regarding the scheduling of oral questions and Standing Order 34.18. The Deputy Presiding Officer responded at the time, last week, and I want to update Members following the Business Committee meeting held on Monday. Business managers agreed that I continue with the practice of disapplying the requirements of Standing Order 12.56. No oral questions will be scheduled, but as Members are aware, topical questions will be reintroduced from next week onwards.

The Business Committee continues to review the organisation of business on a weekly basis. I am grateful for Members' understanding as we continue to enable this Assembly to carry out its functions during these unprecedented times.
