Akbar, Zaynub
<p>Bore da. Croeso, everybody. Good morning and welcome to the first meeting of the Equality, Human Rights and Social Justice Committee today. Today's meeting will be in public and will be broadcast live on Senedd.tv. A recording of proceedings will be published after the session as well. This meeting is bilingual and simultaneous interpretation from Welsh to English is available. I haven't had any apologies today; everyone's here. So, do members wish to make any declarations of interest at all before we start? Steve.</p>

<p>Moving on, then, to item 2, papers to note. There's just one paper to note today, which is the legacy report of the Equality and Social Justice Committee of the sixth Senedd. Are members content to note the report? Yes, happy. Perfect.</p>

<p>Moving on, then, to item 3. So, the next item outlines the committee's remit and responsibilities. If members have detailed questions about the remit, it may be more appropriate to discuss these in more detail during the session later on, in private. But, for now, are members content to note the remit? Yes, happy.</p>

<p>Okay. Moving on then, item 4 is a motion to go into private. So, I propose, in accordance with Standing Order 17.42(ix), that the committee resolves to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting. Are Members content to do this? Yes, I see that Members are content, so we'll now proceed to a private meeting. Thank you.</p>
