Chamber and committees

No, I am fine, thank you.

Yes.

Yes. Thank you, minister.

Good morning, minister. The bill includes a provision for inclusive communication. What are your thoughts on that? Also, the Scottish Government said that it would introduce a public sector duty on inclusive communication. Can you provide an update on that?

The bill includes a provision to involve disabled people in the commissioner’s work. What is your view on that provision? What would the benefits of that be and what might be some of the challenges that it might bring?

Thank you, convener. Apologies for not being able to get online earlier. I am still working on it.

I have a question about inclusive communication. What are your thoughts on the provision for inclusive communication? Do you think that it overlaps with the Equality Act 2010 duty to make reasonable adjustments? I ask Tomas Gerrard to answer first.

Thank you. Richard, do you have anything to add?

Thank you. This question is about the involvement of disabled people. What is your view on the provision in the bill to involve disabled people in the work of the disability commissioner? What are the benefits and the challenges in that regard?

I do not know who would like to answer first. It is very strange when you are participating remotely, as you cannot see who would like to answer.

I have, thank you. Sorry about the technology at this end.

Does anyone have anything to add?
