Thank you, acting Presiding Officer. I formally move the four sets of regulations before us today, and ask Members of the Senedd to support them. These regulations were again introduced under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984, through emergency procedures to support our ongoing action to tackle the unfinished coronavirus pandemic. The Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 2) (Wales) (Amendment) (No. 12) Regulations 2020—I'll now refer to them as the amendment and then the number regulations, so as not to have a mouth full—amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 2) (Wales) Regulations 2020, which are the principal regulations. The principal regulations were amended with effect from 22 September this year to introduce requirements on most licensed premises in local health protection areas to close by 11 p.m. and not to open before 6 a.m. Those provisions have now been replaced with new requirements covering all of Wales, which have the effect that premises with a licence to sell alcohol for consumption on the premises must stop selling by 10 p.m. and close by 10.20 p.m. and not reopen until 6 a.m. Such premises are required to provide seated service only, and premises with an off-sales licence for alcohol must cease the sale of alcohol by 10 p.m. In addition, these regulations extend the requirement to wear face coverings to now include customers in indoor hospitality unless they are at a table and eating or drinking, and staff when in the public area of the premises. The regulations were made and came into force on 24 September.

The health protection amendment No. 13 regulations were made on 25 September, and came into force on 26 September. The principal regulations were amended with effect from 8 September 2020 to introduce restrictions in respect of the Caerphilly local health protection area. The No. 13 amendment regulations extend restrictions to a further local health protection area comprising 13 electoral wards in the Llanelli area of Carmarthenshire, and they provide that no household within that area may be treated as forming part of an extended household, and prohibiting the formation of an extended household. Persons living in that area are prohibited from leaving or remaining away from that area without reasonable excuse, and residents of that area are required to work from home unless it is not reasonably practical for them to do so. People outside that area are prohibited from entering the area without reasonable excuse. We currently have a common pattern for local restrictions in Wales, and Members will be familiar with what I've outlined.

The regulations also amend regulation 12 of the principal regulations, that is, the obligation to take all reasonable measures to minimise the risk of exposure to or the spread of coronavirus. As I said, from 24 September, all licensed premises are prohibited from selling alcohol after 10 p.m. and must close no later than 10.20 p.m. These provisions are now extended so as to ensure that premises that, although not licensed, permit customers to consume their own alcohol, are subject to the same requirements as premises that are authorised for the sale or supply of alcohol.

The No. 14 amendment regulations were made on 25 September and came into force on 27 September. The regulations introduce similar local restrictions for the city and county of Cardiff and the city and county of Swansea.

Finally, the No. 15 amendment regulations were made and came into force on 28 September. These introduced similar local restrictions for Neath Port Talbot, Torfaen and the Vale of Glamorgan county areas as local health protection areas that are subject to specific restrictions and requirements. In keeping with the coronavirus control plan, we've set out our approach to monitoring cases and controlling localised outbreaks. The restrictions we have introduced are based on the principles of caution, proportionality and subsidiarity.

The Welsh Government continues to take a careful and evidence-based approach to dealing with coronavirus, including through the formal requirement to review the need for relevant restrictions and their proportionality every 21 days. Each of the regulations relating to local health protection areas is subject to review two weeks after their introduction, and every week thereafter if the restrictions remain in place for longer than that. Llywydd—or rather acting Llywydd—we all have a role to play in keeping Wales safe. These regulations are necessary to our continued efforts to tackle this unfinished pandemic. I ask Members of the Senedd to support them today.
