Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
Okay. For pet animals—[Interruption.] Indeed. For pet animals entering Wales from a third country. Our lawyers have identified two merits points for reporting, and we haven't had a Welsh Government response yet.

That's great. So, anticipating that the Welsh Government will have a positive response to the points that we've raised, are we happy to agree those reporting points? We are. That takes us on to item 4.8, SL(6)258, the Non-Commercial Movement of Pet Animals…

Excellent. Thank you. Happy to agree that? We are. That takes us on to, then, item 4.7, SL(6)257, the Food Information (Amendment of Transitional Provisions) (Wales) Regulations 2022. Again, we have a draft report on this. These regulations amend Welsh…

Okay. We've had the Welsh Government response on that, which has helped inform your presentation to the committee now. Is there anything further we need to follow up with Welsh Government on this?

That takes us on to item 4.4, SL(6)243, the Renting Homes (Rent Determination) (Converted Contracts) (Wales) Regulations 2022, and we have a draft report under paper 10, and a written statement of 15 July in these papers. These regulations seek to replicate…

Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
Okay. Thank you. So, it seems that we've got some additional points there to actually pick up with Welsh Government on this. They seem to have responded to some of our initial observations around the retrospective nature of this and so on, but there are…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Basic Income and the transition to a zero-carbon economy

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Basic Income and the transition to a zero-carbon economy
It's only to make a very simple point in terms of manifestos: manifestos are for the term, the duration of a whole Senedd, not for delivery on day one. Although I have to say, five of the key points that we had in Labour's manifesto have already been…

I guess what I'm asking, Chair, is what would the WLGA's view be, what would local authorities' view be on the approach that should be taken by Welsh Government. Should they stipulate that we have not just high aspirations, but that this will be the approach…
