Thank you, Llywydd, and I will speak to my amendments. For the purpose of strengthening transparency and accountability, it is entirely appropriate, in my mind, that those trade unions who have elected members onto the SPC are asked to declare as part of the council proceedings whether or not they're affiliated with a political party. This amendment does not breach any confidentiality and will ensure that the SPC meetings are fully transparent. This is, after all, one of the key policies that the trade unions have repeatedly called for. Thank you.
