That would be very helpful. Before I bring in Jane Dodds, can I just ask you if you've got a date for when you're going to publish the revised indicators?

Debate on the Equality and Social Justice Committee Report—'Unsustainable: debt fuelled by the rising cost of living'
Thank you very much for all your contributions. As you can see, we have lively debates in our committee about the causes of the situation we find ourselves in, and that's a strength. But, at the end of the day, politics has to be the art of the possible in…

Debate on the Equality and Social Justice Committee Report—'Unsustainable: debt fuelled by the rising cost of living'
Governments across the world have played catch-up in their response to the spike in energy prices triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but no other European country has experienced the energy price hikes imposed on UK households. The most important…

Debate on the Equality and Social Justice Committee Report—'Unsustainable: debt fuelled by the rising cost of living'
Diolch yn fawr. Here we are again with the UK seeing the largest fall in living standards since the second world war. Our latest report on the rising cost of living and the unsustainable debt that it is fuelling, published in May, sets out the harsh reality…
