Diolch, Llywydd. This pair of technical amendments corrects an issue identified in the equivalence of the Welsh text of the Bill to its English language counterpart. They do not have policy effect. I'd ask Members to support them to help us ensure that the bilingual statute book remains accurate, accessible and consistent. Diolch.

As a bill passes through Parliament, MPs and peers may suggest amendments - or changes - which they believe will improve the quality of the legislation.
Many hundreds of amendments are proposed by members to major bills as they pass through committee stage, report stage and third reading in both Houses of Parliament.
In the end only a handful of amendments will be incorporated into any bill.
The Speaker - or the chairman in the case of standing committees - has the power to select which amendments should be debated.
