Diolch, Llywydd. Amendment 15 inserts a new subsection to point 3 of section 2 of the Bill. Now, under the section 'Prohibited single-use plastic products', this amendment will ensure Welsh Ministers publish guidance explaining how the existing exemptions will apply to straws and how suppliers can be reasonably satisfied that consumers need the straw for health or disability reasons. Now, I think this is really important to get right. Welsh Ministers need to make sure that guidance is published so there is a blanket understanding by businesses across Wales. We cannot be having a consumer being accosted to prove they have a disability or that their disability is worth the exemption. We also can't have one business say 'okay' to providing a straw, then the next business the consumer enters saying 'no'.

Amendment 17 will insert a requirement for Welsh Ministers to consult with persons who they consider represent those who have a protected characteristic before making regulations under section 3. Again, I also think this amendment is really important. Now, I would hope that Ministers would communicate with groups or people who do represent those with protected characteristics. However, I do think it's important to get this confirmed on the Bill. I am grateful that the Minister and her team have worked with me on this amendment. This does show that there is a common goal here between us to make sure that this Bill is inclusive. Diolch.
