As indicated on the agenda, today's votes will be conducted in accordance with Standing Order 34.11. Each political group may nominate one Member of the group to carry the same number of votes as there are Members of the group. In the case of a political group with an Executive role, the nominee may carry the same number of votes as there are Members of that group, plus any other Members of the Government. Members who do not belong to a group will vote for themselves. I will conduct the vote by roll call, and therefore as the Assembly has agreed to group the motions on the two regulations under agenda items 6 and 7, there will only be one vote. I call therefore for a vote on the motions tabled in the name of Rebecca Evans, and on behalf of the Labour group and the Government I'll ask Vikki Howells: how do you cast your 30 votes?

Gareth Bennett, how do you cast your vote? I think that was against, although not clearly heard.

Yes, against. Thank you, Gareth Bennett. Neil Hamilton, how do you cast your vote? That again I think was against.

I think it was o blaid; I was lip reading there for a second.

O blaid, for. The result, therefore, of the vote is—I will quickly look at my WhatsApp group—in favour 51, no abstentions and six against. And therefore, the motions are agreed.
