Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 1:30 pm on 1 March 2022.
Welcome to this Plenary session. Before we begin, I want to set out a few points. This meeting will be held in a hybrid format, with some Members in the Senedd Chamber and others joining by video-conference. All Members participating in proceedings of the Senedd, wherever they may be, will be treated equally. 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 Plenary meeting, and these are set out on your agenda.
As we begin our deliberations this afternoon, may I wish you all a very happy St David's Day? This is a day, of course, when we encourage everyone to follow the words of St David and do the little things. But today, we, like everyone else in the world, are facing major decisions too. So, with our national flower, the daffodil, alongside the sunflower and the Ukrainian flag, and in solidarity with the people and Government of Ukraine, I will ask Jack Sargeant to ask his emergency question this afternoon. Jack Sargeant.
