Thank you so much, Deputy Presiding Officer, for allowing everybody to contribute—I appreciate it. And Alun, I will be talking about democracy as a Conservative on this backbench, and the link between an elected representative and a constituent is a cog that makes democracy tick, because democracy functions quite simply by elected representatives being held to account. Our actions, our words, our deeds are rightly scrutinised by those we represent. This allows us to build a rapport and a relationship with constituents. Many Members in this Chamber, I'm sure, enjoy a bond with their constituents, and that link cannot be underestimated, because it means constituents know who their representative is, they know who to go to, they know who to speak to in times of hardship and need. But I fear that the Labour and Plaid and committee reforms will rip that up.

We're now in a precarious situation where random areas in Wales with absolutely no connection could end up being mashed together with little thought. For instance, there is a real risk that constituents currently in the South Wales East constituency could end up coming under mid Wales, and vice versa. How on earth does that make sense? The answer is that it doesn't. And such a scenario is totally wrong and unjustified anyway.

Monmouthshire, Pembrokeshire, Swansea, the south Wales Valleys and many other areas in Wales rightly boast of their uniqueness, a uniqueness that is entirely understood and profoundly important to those who live in those respective areas. So, who are we to alter something as precious as that? There is enough confusion as it is regarding the differences in local authority boundaries compared to the Senedd and parliamentary ones—
