22 January 2024Equality and Social Justice Committee
Draft budget 2024-25: Ministerial evidence session
It would be very useful to have the facts and figures on that. Thank you very much. Is that your last question, Jane?
22 January 2024Equality and Social Justice Committee
Draft budget 2024-25: Ministerial evidence session

Jane, do you want to continue with any further questions you have on refugees and asylum seekers?
22 January 2024Equality and Social Justice Committee

Okay. Jane.
22 January 2024Equality and Social Justice Committee
Draft budget 2024-25: Ministerial evidence session
Okay. The committee is likely to come back to this issue. Altaf.
22 January 2024Equality and Social Justice Committee
Draft budget 2024-25: Ministerial evidence session
So, even though—. I appreciate your commitment to this. So, despite having a Minister who is so committed to it, still nothing has happened on this for the last several years.
22 January 2024Equality and Social Justice Committee
Draft budget 2024-25: Ministerial evidence session
We've two months still left of this financial year; are you saying that no money will be spent from that budget yet again?
22 January 2024Equality and Social Justice Committee
Draft budget 2024-25: Ministerial evidence session
So, Minister, are you saying—
22 January 2024Equality and Social Justice Committee
Draft budget 2024-25: Ministerial evidence session
Thank you. Back to you, Altaf.
22 January 2024Equality and Social Justice Committee
Draft budget 2024-25: Ministerial evidence session
Can I just come in as a supplementary, Altaf? The key question for me is how much is the voluntary sector dependent on statutory bodies for its funding, which makes it quite difficult for it to adequately challenge the bodies that are funding it.
22 January 2024Equality and Social Justice Committee
Draft budget 2024-25: Ministerial evidence session
Thanks very much. Can I bring in Altaf Hussain now, who's going to ask some questions on promoting equality and strengthening human rights? Altaf.
22 January 2024Equality and Social Justice Committee
Draft budget 2024-25: Ministerial evidence session

Draft budget 2024-25: Ministerial evidence session
Okay. Sioned, and then I'll come back to you, Jane.
22 January 2024Equality and Social Justice Committee

Draft budget 2024-25: Ministerial evidence session

22 January 2024Equality and Social Justice Committee
Draft budget 2024-25: Ministerial evidence session
