The meeting began at 13:32.
1. Introductions, apologies, substitutions and declarations of interest
Prynhawn da. Good afternoon, and welcome to today's session of the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee in the Senedd. We're conducting today's proceedings in a virtual setting, but all of our Standing Orders apply as normal. We have Welsh and English translation during this meeting, and we will be providing—. As well as the Senedd.tv broadcast that's going out, we'll also have the full transcript after the meeting has finished as well. So, let us get under way as per normal, with housekeeping issues. So, if we can make sure that all our devices are switched to mobile and so on. We'll go straight to the first substantive item. We have no apologies today; all of our Members are present.
2. Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
So, we will move to item No. 2, instruments that do raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3. Under this item, we only have one today. It's relatively straightforward today. We have item 2.1, SL(6)201, the Education (Revocation of Assessment Arrangements in the National Curriculum and Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) Regulations 2022. These regulations amend and disapply existing statutory assessments in the national curriculum for Wales, in readiness for, or as a result of, the new Curriculum for Wales roll-out. The regulations also make changes to the reporting and publication requirements placed on schools, governing bodies and local authorities. Now, I'm going to turn to Gareth because there is one merits point that has been identified for reporting. Gareth.
