Good afternoon and welcome.

Before we start formally, I'm sure we've all seen on the news today that Seth Burke, one of our newly elected youth parliamentarians, spent many weeks in hospital over Christmas with COVID. We're glad to know that Seth is now home and all of us, as Senedd Members, I'm sure are wishing Seth a very speedy recovery and hope very much that he, along with his fellow Senedd Members of the Youth Parliament, will be able to attend the first sitting of the new Youth Parliament when it meets virtually in mid February.

So, I wish Seth and everyone else well.

Before we move to the first item, I do need to set out a few points. A Plenary meeting held using 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 meeting, and these are set out on your agenda.
