The meeting began at 10:01.
1. Introduction, apologies, substitutions and declarations of interest
Bore da. Welcome to this morning's meeting of the reconstituted Reform Bill Committee. I'll just remind Members that the meeting is bilingual. If you require simultaneous translation, that's available via the headsets on channel 1. Amplification is available on channel 0. Please ensure your mobile phones or any other devices are switched to silent or off. If the fire alarm does take place—there is no scheduled alarm—please follow the directions of the ushers to a safe location. Can I thank Sarah Murphy and Darren Millar for their contributions to the committee's work previously? Can I welcome Alun Davies, who is replacing Sarah Murphy, and Paul Davies, who is replacing Darren Millar, to the committee? Members will be aware that the remit of the committee has been changed slightly to now scrutinise matters referred to us by the Business Committee. To that end, we will obviously be looking at the first object, which is the draft Senedd Cymru (Representation of the People) (Wales) Order 2025, which we've been discussing, and is known as the conduct Order, which we will be considering in the next set of meetings. We've received no apologies for today's meeting.
