Equality and Social Justice Committee

So, to start with item 2, the papers to note, there are seven papers to note this week. Are there any Members who would like to comment on them, or are Members happy to note the papers? Sioned Williams.

Thank you, Chair. On the paper from Sarah Rees from Oxfam Cymru with regard to providing evidence to our inquiry on childcare, I would like to support what she has noted in the letter. I sponsored the drop-in session that she refers to with Mothers Matter, and I agree that what she could provide as evidence on behalf of groups such as Mothers Matter would be very beneficial to our inquiry. So, if the timetable does allow, I would suggest that we could bring them in for oral evidence.

And then, also, on the letter with regard to digital exclusion, I would agree that perhaps we need to put more emphasis to that in our report on the draft budget, and I know that we will be discussing that later on, so I can raise that then.

Thank you very much, Sioned. Is everyone happy, then, to note the seven papers? Wonderful. Thank you very much.

Therefore, we will move to item 3, a motion to move into private session now. Do any Members object? I'll take that as a 'no'. Thank you very much.
