Thank you, acting Llywydd. Members will know, of course, that the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 2) (Wales) Regulations 2020 are the principal regulations on coronavirus in Wales. The No. 12 amending regulations—I do not intend to repeat the narrative that the Minister has given, the accurate account of what those regulations specifically refer to. I'll go straight to our report on the No. 12 regulations, which identified three merits points. The first noted the Welsh Government's justification for any potential interference with human rights, and the second that there had been no public consultation on these regulations, and our third reporting point highlights two important matters relating to the principal regulations as a whole. First, we highlight that keeping up to speed with all the changes is becoming increasingly difficult and confusing for members of the public. Secondly, we highlight possible inconsistency within the principal regulations that require clarifications.

I now refer to the No. 13, No. 14 and No. 15 amending regulations. Again, these have been outlined by the Minister as to their contents and the restrictions that they bring into force. Our reports on these regulations—that is, on the No. 13, No. 14 and No. 15 regulations—do not raise any new issues regarding the application of restrictions to communities in Wales, but we do draw the reports to the Members' attention to assist today's debate.

And there's one further matter that I would like to draw Members' attention to, and that is this: in the future, the committee intends to consider the extent to which the explanatory memoranda include evidence about why certain areas are placed in lockdown and the reasons for that urgency. Thank you, acting Llywydd.
