And now we are facing a cost-of-living crisis that is both desperate and disastrous—an economic and social crisis that stems from, and is compounded by the aggregate impact of many of these elements, as well as some new elements such as the price of energy and the war on our continent, threatening some of the most fundamental human rights of our people to food and heat. What struck me was that, despite the general presumption that human rights are enduring and firmly entrenched in the fabric of our society, it is obvious that we need to work harder to protect them year upon year. And the pressure on the Equality and Human Rights Commission is therefore intensifying and its work is increasing. Turning to the commission's latest report in Wales, I commend its work and its particular focus on education and young people, the use of restraint in schools, which is still a concern for so many parents of children with additional learning needs, the need for transport to be more inclusive and appropriate for disabled and older people, fair work, as we heard from the Minister, and access to justice. 

Discrimination and inequality in the areas that I have listed and that the commission has investigated arise frequently in my casework, as with a number of other Members, I'm sure. So, the commission's work in shedding light on these issues in order to secure policy solutions is extremely valuable. The monitoring and data collection work of the commission is an essential aspect of scrutinising the Welsh Government and holding them to account. And as a member of the Equality and Social Justice Committee, the lack of appropriate data has repeatedly arisen in our inquiries, and so I welcome the fact that the Government has finally recognised the need for a dedicated equalities data unit to address the gaps in the data, to assist in the work of policy formulation and monitoring more effectively. And I would like to hear from the Government, therefore, what progress is being made in terms of that unit, which would undoubtedly assist the commission in their investigations. Is it fully operational? We've heard that it's been established—is it fully operational? And will that vital information be available to specialist research organisations?

Not only have the Equality and Human Rights Commission's responsibilities increased, but it's also facing a Westminster Government that is hostile to its work, which aims to undermine and, indeed, replace human rights and the frameworks underpinning them. I have mentioned in a recent debate on reforming the Human Rights Act 1998 that there is an urgent and clear need to seek to devolve the equality and human rights responsibilities to Wales at long last. And there is clearly a broad and firm consensus on approaches to protect equality and human rights, which does not seem achievable under the authority of Westminster. Instead, human rights are being challenged by a Government that wants to dismantle the Human Rights Act, because it believes that public benefit is eroded by broadening human rights—the opposite is, of course, true. And the commission's report and its vital work in protecting equality in Wales sets that out quite clearly. It is inevitable that not acting with urgency to create a measure for Wales will actually not allow us to protect those most vulnerable in our society. So, I would like to know what progress has been made in that regard. The time for revision is over. It's time for action and Plaid Cymru agrees with you on that. Thank you.
