Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 6:34 pm on 25 February 2020.
Thank you, Deputy Llywydd. I welcome the opportunity today to debate the latest Equality and Human Rights Commission Wales committee annual report, the 'Wales Impact Report 2018-19'. The annual debate on the outstanding work of the commission here in Wales always provides the opportunity for reflection and discussion on how Wales is performing on equality and human rights. It also provides the opportunity to consider what more can be done to further advance and improve equality and human rights. Over the years, I've met regularly with the chair and head of the EHRC in Wales, as have my ministerial colleagues, to discuss the state of equality in Wales and strengthen our commitment to work together to tackle entrenched and persistent inequalities.
