Next, in accordance with Standing Order 12.24, unless a Member objects, the three motions under items 10, 11 and 12 will be grouped for debate, but with separate votes. Those three motions are the Coronavirus Act 2020 (Alteration of Expiry Date) (Wales) Regulations 2022 and the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 5) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2022. So, are there any objections to grouping those motions for debate, but with separate votes? Excellent. There are no objections.
