Chamber and committees

Thank you all. We now move to questions.

Who wants to go first?

That concludes this evidence session. Thank you all for attending. I suspend the meeting for a changeover of witnesses.

Thank you very much. We move to questions, starting with Maggie Chapman.

My apologies, Karen; I missed you. I got ahead of myself.

Thank you very much. That concludes the public part of our meeting and we will move into private to consider the final items on our agenda.

Fulton, do you have any further questions?

I go back to Pam Duncan-Glancy.

I welcome our second panel of witnesses: Alasdair MacDonald, director of policy and human rights monitoring, and Melanie Field, chief strategy and policy officer, both from the Equality and Human Rights Commission. They are both very welcome. I invite Melanie Field to make a short opening statement.

We will come back to international evidence at the end, as we did before.
