Thank you, Llywydd. These regulations allow the Welsh Language Commissioner to consider where the bodies are on their language journey before imposing final standards upon them, thereby considering what is reasonable to expect, but also to improve Welsh language services to the public. The main aim is to ensure practical, daily use of the Welsh language in our communities.

These bodies have been preparing to be captured under the standards regime for years and are ready to proceed in implementing them. The bodies have collaborated fully with us as we prepare the regulations, and they have a healthy attitude towards the Welsh language. I therefore hope that Members will support these regulations as part of our ambition to increase the daily, practical use of the Welsh language.
