And again, are we happy, colleagues, to agree those reporting points? We are. And then that brings us on to the last of these on the coronavirus regulations. It's SL(6)125, the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 5) (Wales) (Amendment) (No. 26)…

Thank you very much, Gareth. In light, Peter, of your earlier comments as well, it's worth observing that some of these policy issues have been discussed on other committees—the balance between rights and so on. But, the rights issue is one that's pertinent…

Thank you, Peter. And, absolutely, by the way, just for the public who are looking in, we will, as elected representatives, where we feel appropriate, make those policy challenges, but the purpose of this committee, for those watching in, as we look at these…

Thanks, Alun. In which case, I'll continue—my screen has frozen, but as long as you can hear me. Peter, is that adequate as an explanation for the moment in terms of where to raise the policy issues?

I'm just pausing there because my internet appears to be a little bit stretched. I wonder, could I just check with any colleagues whether they can hear me at the moment?

Thank you, Peter. It's quite a helpful intervention because it helps explain not just in terms of you and committee members, but also the public watching as well. We can return to this in private session, but, for the public session, it's worth saying that I…

Yes, indeed, and that makes sense to the public, who may be looking in to this or looking at the transcript afterwards as to why we cast our eyes over this in a very diligent way, but in a post-match-analysis sort of way to make sure that they have been done…

Legislative Consent Motion on the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Bill
I'd better point out at the beginning of this that I sometimes feel like a legalistic and constitutional Jeremiah sometimes, but we do want to make clear as a committee that our intention is not only to signal where we have concerns, but also, constructively…
