Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 1:30 pm on 25 January 2022.
Good afternoon and welcome to this Plenary session. Before we begin, I want 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 noted on your agenda. And I would remind Members that Standing Orders relating to order in Plenary meetings apply to this meeting.
Before we begin today, may I take this opportunity to wish one of our neighbours here in Cardiff Bay a very happy hundredth birthday—Urdd Gobaith Cymru, one of Europe's largest youth organisations? And if we as a Senedd weren't meeting virtually today, I would have wanted all Members to have stood and to have sung:
'Hei, Mistar Urdd, yn dy goch, gwyn a gwyrdd, / Mae hwyl i'w gael ym mhobman yn dy gwmni.'
But, as we are meeting virtually, and having embarrassed myself completely there, we will wish the Urdd well for the next century and thank them for everything that they've achieved for our young people.
