I'm a bit surprised that, in particular, the children's commissioner's position on children's rights hasn't been taken into consideration, because she's on the Minister's expert panel on the cost of living. This is somebody who is regularly getting to see the…

Very good. Sean, in your view, how do the draft strategy and impact assessments focus on children's rights, and are they sufficiently focused on that?

Thank you. Obviously, some of the things, Victoria Winckler, that you mention as being important in your paper are not devolved matters that the Welsh Government can do anything about. I don't disagree that they're important, but at the end of the day, we can…
