Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Last month, I announced the appointment of the co-chairs to the Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales. I am delighted to be able to come back to the Senedd to announce the appointment of the commissioners.

Each commissioner brings different strengths, knowledge, experience and perspectives. They come from all parts of Wales, across the UK and further afield. Each has been selected for the contribution that they can make. They can cover both constitutional law and practice and the practical implications of constitutional reform. They have real experience at the sharp end of questions such as, 'How will these reforms affect citizens?', 'What will the practical impact be?', 'What can we learn from the experience of other nations, in other times and other places?'
