That's great. Thank you. Are we content with that? I think we are. So, we'll move on, then, to item 3.6—thank you, Kate—SL(6)340. It's an affirmative resolution instrument, the Construction Contracts (Exclusion) (Wales) Order 2023. This Order disapplies Part…

Brilliant. Okay. Thanks, Kate. So, Pered, if you could ping those across, with the magic of modern technology, to Gareth or to Kate or to me, then we'll take up those issues raised by the BMA, then, as part of this report as well.

Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
Yes. I think that would be really good to do. And we thank the BMA for sharing their thoughts with us on that. Kate, I wonder if you could raise the one merits reporting point you've got with that, and I'm sure, then, I think we can take up Pered's point…

We'll go on to item No. 3, then, and we have several items under this. These are instruments that do raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3. The first of these is one that's well known to us, and it's item 3.1, SL(6)332…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Bus emergency scheme
Alun, thank you very much for giving way. Would he agree with me that, as we try to transition to this better future with public transport, what we do need to do is to join up all those modes, including not just Fflecsi bus but community transport as well? We…

I wonder if you could tell me how the UK Government—sorry, the England Government—has dealt with this, with the cancellation of the emergency bus scheme and the 10 per cent drop now in services being provided immediately?

Plaid Cymru Debate: Bus emergency scheme
Diolch, Delyth. I have a lot of sympathy with your argument, because this is about social justice and environmental justice and so on. The challenge we have, however, is that there was nothing—nothing, not a penny—within the budget just announced about any…
