That brings us to voting time. The first vote this afternoon is on the Member debate under Standing Order 11.21 on the legislative consent process. I call for a vote on the motion tabled in the names of Rhys ab Owen, Alun Davies, Heledd Fychan and Jane Dodds. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 22, 19 abstentions and 15 against, and therefore the motion is agreed.

Item 6. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv) – The legislative consent process: For: 22, Against: 15, Abstain: 19

Motion has been agreed

The next vote is on the Welsh Conservatives debate on an independent public inquiry into the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales. I call for a vote on the motion tabled in the name of Darren Millar. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 28, no abstentions, 28 against. Therefore, the vote is tied. As required under Standing Order 6.20, I exercise my casting vote to vote against the motion. The result of the vote, therefore, is that there were 28 in favour, no abstentions, and 29 against. Therefore, the motion is not agreed.

Item 8. Welsh Conservatives debate – An independent public inquiry into the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales (Motion without amendment) : For: 28, Against: 28, Abstain: 0

As there was an equality of votes, the Llywydd used her casting vote in accordance with Standing Order 6.20(ii).

Motion has been rejected

That brings us to a vote on amendment 1, tabled in the name of Lesley Griffiths. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 28, no abstentions, 28 against. Therefore, I exercise my casting vote to vote against the motion, in accordance with Standing Order 6.20. Therefore, the amendment is not agreed by 29 votes to 28, which means that the motion and the amendment have been rejected, and therefore nothing has been agreed. 

Item 8. Welsh Conservatives debate - Amendment 1, tabled in the name of Lesley Griffiths: For: 28, Against: 28, Abstain: 0

As there was an equality of votes, the Llywydd used her casting vote in accordance with Standing Order 6.20(ii).

Amendment has been rejected

That concludes our work for this year, possibly. All the best to you all, as Members—. But, I am wrong, of course. That doesn't bring our work for the year to an end. We do have the short debate.
