I think you cover a great deal of ground in your questions. I think it is very important that we do look at the issue of human rights, particularly in relation to the opportunities that we have to build on the founding legislation of the Welsh Government. You will be aware, of course, that we are looking at a holistic approach to human rights in Wales, because we want to fully support the need to uphold and protect the human rights of all our citizens. Of course, this is something that the Equality and Human Rights Commission were very keen to engage in in terms of looking at ways in which we can possibly incorporate conventions, particularly, as you say, the UN convention on disabled people. We have had a seminar to look at the way forward and, indeed, research that's been undertaken.

We need to look, of course, at how we can build on existing legislation and specific duties, and I think that's something where we can work together in terms of our work with other agencies. Of course, the Welsh Government was the first Government to bring in specific equality duties as set out in the Equality Act 2010, and that does cover engagement, review and reporting arrangements as well as equality impact assessments. But it is important that we then review that and, as you say, not only monitor how public bodies are delivering on those duties, but consider whether we can take this forward in terms of strengthening it and looking at the way forward. 'Is Wales Fairer?', the EHRC report, does provide valuable evidence of the efforts of all our public bodies to reduce inequality in Wales.  

You do raise issues in terms of impact of Brexit, and I think it's important that, last week, the Counsel General and I went and met with the civic forum who are bringing together disabled people, and they raised with us concerns that they had about the impact of Brexit. And I think it's important to recognise in terms of the impact of Brexit, particularly on disabled people, that they were looking at the impacts on them. It actually relates to the previous statement. Many of them were concerned about the impact of the loss of people who work with them in terms of disabled people, and the fact that they will not be able to recruit those staff who work with them. But it will also impact on access to medical treatment, as I said, barriers to sourcing personal assistants and carers from the EU after Brexit, food shortages, blue badge portability, and a wider impact on funding in local communities in terms of community cohesion and hate crime.

In fact, Disability Rights UK have developed a Brexit manifesto that Disability Wales have contributed and signed up to. It is important that we consult our colleagues, those who are most vulnerable across all of the equality groups that we support, in terms of the impact of Brexit, but also that we support those who are victims of hate crime. We have used the EU transition funding to support our community cohesion co-ordinators, and I know that you will welcome the events that are happening next week, not just in terms of the nation of sanctuary—Refugee Week—but also the Windrush event that I believe you're also supporting in north Wales. 

I have to say that, in terms of the UN report and the rapporteur's work, it is true that this leading UN poverty expert has compared Conservative welfare policies to the creation of nineteenth-century workhouses, and he's warned that unless austerity is ended, the UK's poorest people face lives that are solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short. We can mitigate, we can decide on our priorities, but I think, also, if you look at the 'State of the Nation' report from the Social Mobility Commission, we have to recognise, again, their findings, where they are saying, again, that

'The middle class is being supported while the most disadvantaged are left behind.'

And that goes back to some comments earlier on about leadership contenders in your party. But they're saying also that this work that they undertake is more critical than ever, as

'Research shows that living standards are getting worse for the working class and for young people. If we do not address the soaring costs of housing, the wellbeing of our nation and the rising rates of child poverty, social mobility is predicted to get even worse in future years.'

So, we have got to address this evidence and also ensure that we are looking to ways we can strengthen equality and human rights in Wales, as well as safeguard and defend them.
