Thank you very much, Llywydd. It was interesting to hear a catalogue of Mark Reckless's various analyses of different constitutional matters within the Senedd. I thank him for taking such an interest in the Standing Orders of our national Parliament, an institution that he and others here this afternoon, unfortunately, want to abolish, of course, contrary to the mandate of our people. It's not the interests of our national Parliament and our nation that have been addressed in this debate thus far.

But, in turning to item 15, I do believe that it's important that we take the two clauses in these changes to the Standing Orders in relation to the formation of political groups together. They work as one, with the first safeguarding the rights of minority parties to form groups automatically, and the second providing discretion to the Llywydd to allow the formation of groups that don't have a clear mandate. The second clause provides sufficient flexibility for the Llywydd as circumstances change.

Therefore, the new Standing Orders will not prevent the formation of new groups. But what will be in place will be a far more robust system. This change will provide greater transparency and an improved system, unlike what's been possible during this Senedd term, and, in doing that, it will safeguard the reputation of our national Parliament. The change also highlights the importance of democratic accountability and will create greater stability for the institution in future. There's been a great deal of thought and discussion about the very wording contained within this change, and I would encourage everyone who wishes to retain the reputation of our Parliament and to maintain its stability to support this change.
