Diolch, Llywydd. I wanted to speak very briefly to this group of amendments and to welcome the Minister's commitment, given at Stage 2, to explore the potential for guidance to be issued that would strengthen the role of democratic services within local government, including the potential for a research service function, as has just been mentioned by Mark Isherwood. In that respect, amendment 47 is most welcome and can be used to strengthen the role and support that democratic services can offer councillors.
