The vote this afternoon is on item 7, which is the debate that we've just had—[Interruption.] Yes, okay, I'll come to that in a moment. Item 7 is the Welsh Conservative debate on additional learning needs. We will call for a vote on the motion without amendment first of all. So, I open the vote on the motion without amendment, in the name of Darren Millar.

I'll take an oral vote from Mabon ap Gwynfor. How do you vote, Mabon, on the motion without amendment? Mabon ap Gwynfor's vote has been submitted. I'll close the vote. In favour 15, no abstentions, 34 against. Therefore, the motion without amendment is not agreed.

The final vote, therefore, is on the motion as amended.

(Translated)

Motion NDM8294 as amended

To propose that the Senedd:

1. Notes that:

a) Estyn finds that ALN implementation is making steady progress and changes are generally welcomed.

b) research finds that the Curriculum for Wales and ALN code are promoting a focus on equity and inclusivity for all learners.

c) the ALN implementation period has been extended to ensure that families receive the best support possible, and implementation funding increased to help plan for meeting individual learner need.

2. Calls on the Welsh Government to:

a) undertake an urgent review of the implementation of ALN reforms;

b) take urgent action to ensure that children with ALN are identified and provided with access to support sooner;

c) provide additional financial support directly to Welsh schools to ensure that learners with ALN are able to access the support they need; and

d) take immediate action to alleviate concerns from Welsh-medium providers regarding the availability of Welsh language resources to support ALN work, and ensure all resources are published bilingually.
