Answer
Regulations to provide councils with the flexibility to hold meetings by remote or hybrid means are being developed at pace. I am committed to keeping the gap in provision for remote and hybrid meetings to a minimum.
I will confirm the timeframe for laying the regulations in the Assembly with the Communities Committee as soon as possible.
