Thanks. Sioned, do you want to come in quickly, because I know Altaf's got another question?

Okay. Thank you, we'll come back to that another day. Jack wanted to ask a question.

Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Okay. Thank you for that. And further questions we can pick up when the Minister makes her statement in the Senedd. We've got 10 minutes left, and I just want to briefly cover I think three more topics. First of all, Minister, a subject close to both our…

Thank you. Claire, can you just clarify that the statement's going to be made next week, so that we're all preparing for that, or—?

No, I think we haven't got time to go on, but, Altaf, did you want to just come back?

Well, why don't we bring in other Members first? Jack actually indicated initially to me, and then Jane and then Sioned.

Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Thank you, Minister. I wonder if I could now go back to Altaf Hussain, because I know you had a question about a pilot of a universal basic income.

Vikki, I know you had some questions on this, and as Hannah's already started laying out her stall, can I suggest to you that you pick that one up now?
20 Medi 2021 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
That's fine. Altaf, can we come back to your other question? We've sort of entered into the whole issue of fair work, so I suggest we deal with that, and then I'll come back to you on your other question. Is that all right?
20 Medi 2021 , Equality and Social Justice Committee

Thank you. Jane.

Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Okay. Before I bring in Jane Dodds, I just wonder if I could follow up with whether the success of the pilot programmes on income maximisation means that you're now planning to mainstream those across Wales.

Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Okay. Thank you very much. Moving on now to the small subject of tackling poverty. Sioned Williams is going to start us off.

Minister, before you move on, I wonder if you have a date for the Government's response to the future generations commissioner's weighty report, and the auditor general's report that went with it, and the Public Accounts Committee response to those two very…

Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Okay. Thank you for that. I'd like to move us on now, and Jack Sargeant's going to start us off on the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. Jack.

Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Okay. Just very briefly, lastly, because we obviously have lots of other issues we'd like to discuss with you, the report also recommends a human rights Act for Wales in this Senedd term. Is this something you intend to bring forward legislation on in this…

Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Okay. You mentioned the 'Strategic Equality Plan 2020-2024'. In your view, is that still fit for purpose or are there any plans to revisit it in light of, obviously, the pandemic in particular having highlighted the extent of the inequalities we have?
20 Medi 2021 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Okay. So, you accept the basic assertion that there is a big gap between the aspirations and the legislation and the actual implementation.

Thank you very much indeed. Thank you both—thank you all of you. I just wanted to—. I’ll start off, and I just wanted to ask you: you say in your paper that equality and human rights is centre stage of every Welsh Government since the foundation of the…

Welcome, Hannah Blythyn and Jane Hutt, and, for the record, I wondered if you'd just like to introduce yourselves and the officials you've brought with you.
