Prynhawn da. Blwyddyn newydd dda.

Good afternoon and a happy new year. 

Welcome to the first meeting of the Equality and Social Justice Committee for 2024. I've had no apologies at the moment, and I'm expecting all Members to be present, although I can't at the moment see Ken Skates, but I believe he'll be joining us shortly. Are there any declarations of interest on matters on the agenda? No. Thank you very much. This is a meeting in public. It's broadcast live on Senedd.tv and simultaneous translation is available from Welsh to English, if required. 

2. Papurau i’w nodi
2. Papers to note

So, just moving on to the item of papers to note, we have seven papers in the pack. Are Members content to agree that those papers should be made public? Thank you. 

3. Cynnig o dan Reolau Sefydlog 17.42(vi) a (ix) i wahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod
3. Motion under Standing Orders 17.42(vi) and (ix) to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting

Cynnig:

bod y pwyllgor yn penderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod yn unol â Rheolau Sefydlog 17.42(vi) ac (ix).

Motion:

that the committee resolves to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting in accordance with Standing Orders 17.42(vi) and (ix). 

Cynigiwyd y cynnig.

Motion moved.

And I'd now like to request, under Standing Order 17.42, to exclude the public from the remainder of today's meeting. We'll be meeting again in two weeks' time, when we're going to be discussing the draft budget relating to the social justice portfolio. Welcome, Ken Skates. 

Derbyniwyd y cynnig.

Daeth rhan gyhoeddus y cyfarfod i ben am 13:17. 

Motion agreed.

The public part of the meeting ended at 13:17.
