1. Cyflwyniad, ymddiheuriadau, dirprwyon a datgan buddiannau
1. Introductions, apologies, substitutions and declarations of interest

Good morning and welcome, everyone, to the Climate Change, Environment, Sustainability and Rural Affairs Committee. I'd like to note that the public items of this meeting are being broadcast live on Senedd.tv, for all the thousands of people who are watching us from around the world, and the Record of Proceedings will be published as usual. I note that the meeting is bilingual, so Members can communicate via Cymraeg and Saesneg if they want to. I note that I've had apologies from Paul Rock and also from Gareth Beer. I'd like to ask Members now if there are any declarations of interest. I don't see any declarations of interest—

I should declare an interest as well. It's on my relevant interests, on my register.

Maybe I should declare an interest. I'm the owner of some agricultural land that's rented out.

I'm down as well, then. I have a smallholding, but there's nothing on it. 

I can't wait for everyone on Twitter who's going to comment about this. Thank you very much, Members. [Interruption.] Yes. As you know, people have got their register of interests and I'm sure people who are watching will check those.

2. Papurau i'w nodi
2. Papers to note

We move on to item 2, papers to note. They have been circulated as part of the agenda pack. Is everybody content with the items and the papers to note? Lovely, that is fantastic.

3. Cynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42(ix) i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod hwn
