Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 7:53 pm on 6 October 2020.
For clarity, Mr McEvoy, you are speaking; your voice has not been taken away. I have allowed you to make all these points during this debate, whether amendments were selected—and for the information of all Members, all amendments tabled today were not selected, not only Neil McEvoy's but those offered by others as well. As the Business Committee knows and as Members know, we are in extraordinary times of a hybrid Senedd, and I have said on many occasions that I will proactively now be looking to select or not select amendments for the proper conduct of a hybrid Senedd and its voting. You are perfectly entitled to make all the contributions relating to those amendments, as you are doing, but it was wholly in order for me not to select any amendment for the purposes of this debate. It is not their content; it is for the proper conduct of a hybrid Senedd and its voting process that these amendments today, amendments in the past and amendments in the future will not be selected. Please carry on with your comments; you are perfectly free to do so.
