Diolch, cadeirydd. Can I thank my neighbour for those kind comments? Can I thank Laura Anne Jones for the nomination, and Alun Davies for seconding that nomination? I'm delighted to accept that nomination this afternoon.

If elected Llywydd, Members can be assured that all the decisions will be rooted in the Standing Orders. I can certainly say that I would like to think that all Members of the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee could testify to my independence and impartiality as Chair. As Presiding Officer, I would maintain a rigorous independence in dealing with matters in this Senedd; I will not attend Conservative group meetings if elected Llywydd.

I come with no political agenda, other than serving Members equally and fairly, and will respect the views of Members in relation to what happens next with potential electoral reform. I will not block change, but neither will I be the driver of that change. I will do more to ensure a role for the voice of backbenchers. I will seek to increase the number of ballots for private Members' legislation, which fell significantly during the fourth and fifth Senedds, and I look to increase the amount of speaking slots for Government backbenchers in debate particularly.

The Conservative group has never held the role of Presiding Officer and only once held the role of Deputy Presiding Officer. This Senedd has to be more inclusive, especially as we are clearly the second party in this Chamber. I believe every Senedd is different and this needs to be reflected in every Senedd also. So, I pledge that, if elected Llywydd, I will not seek a second term. I hope Members will give serious consideration to supporting me in this afternoon's ballot.
