That brings us to voting time, and unless three Members wish for the bell to be rung, we will move immediately to the vote—[Interruption.] Sorry—Adam Price?
[Inaudible.]
Okay, I will speak very, very slowly. And so, I will move to voting time. To be honest, I need to find the correct screen too. And so, the first vote this afternoon will be on item 6, the Welsh Conservatives' debate on free ports. And I call for a vote on the motion, tabled in the name of Darren Millar. Open the vote. In favour 14, no abstentions, and 37 against. And therefore, the motion is not agreed.
We'll now move to amendment 1. I call for a vote on amendment 1, tabled in the name of Siân Gwenllian. If amendment 1 is agreed, amendment 2 will be deselected. Open the vote on amendment 1. Close the vote. In favour 11, no abstentions, 40 against. And therefore, amendment 1 is not agreed.
We'll move now to amendment 2, tabled in the name of Lesley Griffiths. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 27, no abstentions, 24 against. And therefore, amendment 2 is agreed.
The motion as amended.
Motion NDM8200 as amended:
To propose that the Senedd:
1. Recognises the opportunities for freeports to energise the Welsh economy, create high quality jobs, promote regeneration and investment.
2. Notes that three bids from Wales have been submitted for consideration by the UK and Welsh Governments.
3. Notes that the three bids which were submitted are now being assessed by both the Welsh and UK governments, against the criteria published in the Freeport Programme in Wales: Bidding Prospectus and the outcome of this process will be jointly decided between Welsh and UK Government Ministers as part of an open and transparent process.
I now call for a vote on the motion as amended. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 41, no abstentions, 10 against. The motion as amended is agreed.
The next set of votes is on item 7, the Plaid Cymru debate on income tax devolution. I call for a vote on the motion, tabled in the name of Siân Gwenllian. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 11, no abstentions, 40 against. The motion is therefore not agreed.
We'll now move to amendment 1 in the name of Lesley Griffiths. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 26, no abstentions, 25 against. And therefore, amendment 1 is agreed.
I now call for a vote on the motion as amended.
Motion NDM8199 as amended:
To propose that the Senedd:
1. Recognises the Welsh Government’s responsible use of its tax-varying powers to support effective policy-making in Wales during the current cost-of-living crisis.
2. Supports the Welsh Government's approach to tax devolution in line with its tax principles and ambitions for strengthened devolution within the United Kingdom.
Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 26, no abstentions, 25 against. And therefore, the motion as amended is agreed.
That concludes voting time.
