On the first issue, I'm really pleased to say that, this afternoon, we will have a statement from the Deputy Minister and Chief Whip on the Wales race equality action plan. That will be a good opportunity, I think, to hear about the Welsh Government's approach in this area, and also to potentially raise those specific issues that you've just brought to the floor of the Senedd with the Minister.

On the second issue, about data bias and the collection of data regarding unemployment, I will again make the Minister for economy and transport aware of that particular concern, and explore if there is more that we can be doing in this area to better understand the impact of the pandemic on women, but also on others with protected characteristics.FootnoteLink
