Chamber and committees

I will bring in Professor Glasby before I come back to you, Evelyn.

Our next theme, which we have dipped into, is whether the bill will achieve its policy aims.

I apologise—Tess White wanted to ask about financing. I am sorry for missing you out, Tess.

Does anyone else want to comment on the approach—about actually going out to people with lived experience?

I see Sir Harry nodding along. Do you want to add anything?

We will move on to our final theme, which will be led by Stephanie Callaghan.

I think that that is all on the public record anyway, is it not? We can talk about that in private session.

Are we agreed on Gillian Mackay’s approach?

I do not want to presume, but I would say that, in this country, that cultural expectation tends to fall on women. Is that the case in those other countries?

I call Sandesh Gulhane, who has a quick question, and I see that Tess White, who is online, wants to come in, too.

I thank Dr Connon for the power of work that she has put into the report and for spending so much time with us this morning to answer our questions. It was a very useful start to our scrutiny process.

We will take a 10-minute break to allow for a change of witnesses.

If any online panel members want to come in, they just have to type R in the chat box. There we go: Professor Needham wants to come in, I think. Maybe we should let people know that I see “Professor Catherine” on screen, but there are two Professor Catherines. If I mix up the two of you, I apologise—the surname is just not coming up.
