– in the Senedd at 1:30 pm on 22 December 2021.
Welcome, and in accordance with Standing Order 12.3A, I have agreed to summon the Senedd as a matter of urgent public importance for a statement on COVID-19. Before we begin, I need to set out a few points. A Plenary meeting held by video-conference, in accordance with the Standing Orders of the Welsh Parliament, constitutes Senedd proceedings for the purposes of the Government of Wales Act 2006. Some of the provisions of Standing Order 34 will apply for today's Plenary meeting, and these are set out on your agenda. And I would remind Members that Standing Orders relating to order in Plenary meetings apply to this meeting.
