Diolch, Llywydd. Amendment 2 will insert an additional amendment into section 10 of the Bill. This is a technical amendment to remove terms from the Senedd and Elections (Wales) Act 2020 that are redundant as a consequence of this Bill. The omission of entries in the Bill includes the expressions 'Senedd Constituency Member', 'Senedd electoral region' and 'Senedd regional Member'. Diolch, Llywydd.
