The Welsh Conservatives will be supporting both sets of regulations this afternoon. Agenda item No. 7 seems a sensible course of action, if you're giving this authority to local authorities to shut places down but also offer people who come under these regulations the ability to appeal to a magistrates' court, as I understand it, and also if the rules and regulations need to lapse after seven days, then the provision for those regulations to be taken away seems a sensible course of action. 

The second point about Bangor, the second regulations we'll be voting on this afternoon, is something we've been calling on the Welsh Government to do. They've deployed it in Llanelli and we believe it's a sensible course of action in relation to Bangor, given the incidence of infection in Bangor. And so, therefore, the Welsh Conservatives will be supporting both sets of regulations that are before the Assembly this afternoon.
