Local Government and Housing Committee

Welcome, everyone, to this meeting of the Local Government and Housing Committee. Our first item on the agenda today is introductions, apologies, substitutions and declarations of interest. Following Jayne Bryant's appointment as Minister for Mental Health and Early Years, she has recused herself from all of this committee's business. Jayne remains a member of the committee, however, until a replacement has been elected. This meeting today is being held in hybrid format, and aside from the adaptations relating to conducting proceeding's in that way, all other Standing Order requirements remain in place. The public items of this meeting are being broadcast live on Senedd.tv, and the Record of Proceedings will be published as usual. The meeting is bilingual, and simultaneous translation is available. Are there any declarations of interest? No.

Then we will move on to item 2, papers to note. Paper 1 is a letter from the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee to the then Minister for Climate Change in relation to the legislative consent memorandum for the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill. Yes, Sam.
