Convener, I have a question on theme 2. Can I ask that one, or do you want me to wait?

Can the data that is being used to calculate these figures be considered comprehensive when there is only a single reference month when analysing the financial pressure on low-income households?

Is there any provision for future winter fuel payments being made closer to the start of winter rather than at the end?

Good morning. I have just a short question. What data and evidence were collected prior to the decision to increase the Scottish child payment?

Thank you very much.

Convener, I want to add to the question that you asked. Will any increases reflect household bills? A lot of families are being hit by high gas and electricity bills.

Thank you. I have no other questions on this theme.

Thank you very much.

Good morning. I had a question on accommodation and homelessness, but the cabinet secretary has already answered it. Convener, can I go on to theme 4, which is on refugees and asylum seekers?

Thank you. What support can be offered to non-Ukrainian refugees and asylum seekers—particularly those who have no recourse to public funds because of their immigration status—to ensure equal rights for all refugees and asylum seekers in Scotland?
