I bring in James Dornan, who joins us remotely. James, there is a slight shadow on your camera at the moment; is there any way that you can move your camera?

Can I just clarify whether the cap is for one journey or multiple journeys?

Child Poverty and Parental Employment Inquiry

Meeting date: 7 September 2023

Collette Stevenson

Thank you very much. I thank all our witnesses for taking part and sharing their expertise today.

That concludes our public business for today. Next week, we will conclude our evidence taking for the inquiry with a session with the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, the Cabinet Secretary for Wellbeing Economy, Fair Work and Energy, the Minister for Children, Young People and Keeping the Promise and the Minister for Higher and Further Education. After that session with the Scottish Government cabinet secretaries and ministers, we will hear from the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice about other priorities relevant to the committee.

We now move into private to consider the remaining items on the agenda. Once again, I thank our witnesses.

10:33 Meeting continued in private until 11:26.

Child Poverty and Parental Employment Inquiry

Meeting date: 7 September 2023

The national transport strategy’s priorities are wide ranging and include tackling inequalities. To what extent is tackling poverty, including child poverty, a consideration in the specific policies in the latest delivery plan?

Perhaps I can bring in Paul, and then Mick and Paul—Paul White. I just realised that there are two Pauls. It is confusing.

Collette Stevenson

Our next item of business is a decision on whether to take agenda items 5 and 6 in private. Are we agreed?
