Thank you for the opportunity to respond. I just want to make it clear, as with the previous LCM, that we're not opposing the principle before us today; that's not what we're doing as Plaid Cymru in opposing these LCMs, but making a point once again that we can't ignore the fact that these motions are being made in the context of an increasing number of motions that undermine devolution, that cut corners in terms of our ability as a legislature to scrutinise. Plaid Cymru will always seek to protect and safeguard the integrity of this Senedd, and once again today, it is important that we make a statement through the vote today, even though it's clear which way the vote will go, to declare once again that we are not content time and time and time again to see our competence being undermined in such a throwaway manner by the UK Government.
