I thank Sian Gwenllian very much for those points, and very much agree that gender equality will be absolutely central to the work of the committee and that many of the important protections in place come from the European Union. And, obviously, Brexit, and what’s proposed by UK Government, will be very relevant to the work of the committee and consideration of how we can not just safeguard existing rights, but obviously develop them and improve on them. And I’m sure we’ll get much evidence that’s relevant to those concerns and those issues.

I would also very much agree that the previous inquiry by the Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee in the last Assembly is a base that we will move forward from in terms of the work that the committee will be undertaking. The work around the equality duties, for example, is very relevant and significant. So, I very much look forward to taking this work forward with Sian Gwenllian and the other members of the committee.

With regard to asylum seekers and refugees and our ongoing inquiry, I do believe that information on services, and obviously the quality and availability of services, is central to that. I think our visit to Scotland—to Glasgow and Edinburgh—was very informative, and I do think that, out of that, will come an ongoing relationship where we share experience and we work as a committee with our counterpart committee in Scotland and, indeed, other committees in the UK.
