Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee
Women’s Unfair Responsibility for Unpaid Care and Domestic Work
Meeting date: 7 December 2021
Joe FitzPatrick
I know that we are past our time, but just before we finish, I am keen to go round everyone for a quick and snappy comment about what we need to do as we move forward. I know that part of the discussion is about looking back at what went wrong, but what positives we can take from the pandemic?
Do you want to go first, Norin?

Thank you. I know that Fulton MacGregor wants to come in on shared parenting later, but Alexander Stewart will come in now.

Before I bring in Eilidh Dickson, Fulton MacGregor wants to ask a similar, associated question.

Thank you very much. We will have another evidence-taking session on this subject next week, when we will look at the issue of intersectionality, which you have all raised.
We now move into private session.

We will go to Eilidh Dickson, as she will want to pick up on some of the points from the previous question as well.

Thank you all for your opening remarks.
We move on to questions and answers. Members might direct questions at particular witnesses but, if they do not, and Ruth Boyle wants to respond, she should put R in the chat function. Fulton MacGregor knows how to ensure that I am aware that he wants to come in. The witnesses in the room should just indicate that they want to respond. I will keep my eyes open.

Welcome to the 10th meeting in session 6 of the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee. Apologies have been received from Pam Duncan-Glancy, so I welcome Paul O’Kane, who is attending as a substitute member.
Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take in private item 5, which is consideration of today’s evidence, and item 6, which is consideration of our approach to our stage 1 scrutiny of the Miners’ Strike (Pardons) (Scotland) Bill. Do we agree to take those items in private?
Members indicated agreement.
