The purpose of the item is to note the committee's remit. I'm assuming that everybody has received papers in relation to that. And the remit is outlined paragraph 5 of paper 1. I'll just quickly go through it. It's to examine legislation and hold the Welsh Government to account by scrutinising its expenditure, administration and policy matters, encompassing, but not restricted to, local government, communities, housing, planning and regeneration. Does anybody have any comments with regard to that remit or the statement? Okay. All right.  16169 7 2026-07-09T09:45:26 767190 7 Cy 260709-3 3. Cynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42(ix) i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod 3.
