Officials are looking very carefully at the report in a lot of detail—laser-like focus, as John Griffiths says—with a view to having it be fed into the next iteration of our strategic equality plan, and, indeed, in the way that the previous strategic equality plan was based on the previous 'Is Wales Fairer?' report. We're very pleased that we've been able to work in conjunction with the Equality and Human Rights Commission in that regard. I've also had a number of meetings with other officials of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, with my management board, for example, in my portfolio responsibilities, looking to see what we can do to pick up on some of the data that we need, in order to be able to drive some of those issues.

Professor Philip Alston's report echoes what we've been saying all along that there's overwhelming evidence from a range of respected organisations, including parliamentary committees and the National Audit Office, as John Griffiths highlighted, that the UK is just hellbent on delivering its damaging welfare and tax reform policies, which are entirely regressive, and which we regret. We have a number of measures that we can put in place to try and ameliorate those, but, unfortunately, we do not have the levers at our disposal to completely take them away.

I'd just like to draw attention to two things that we're very keen on doing, that is making sure that well-paid work, through our fair work commission, is very much at the top of the agenda in Wales, because we know that's the best route out of poverty, and also to ensure that everything we do takes into account the needs of those people with all the protected characteristics. So, our recent consultation for disability action, for example, which is still open—and I would very much encourage all Assembly Members, Llywydd, to respond to it.
