1. Cyflwyniad, ymddiheuriadau, dirprwyon a datgan buddiannau
1. Introductions, apologies, substitutions and declarations of interest

Prynhawn da. I'd like to welcome Members and members of the public to the meeting of the Equality and Social Justice Committee. The public items of this meeting are being broadcast live on Senedd.tv. We're a bilingual institution and simultaneous translation from Welsh to English is available.

Are there any Members who have a declaration of interest in relation to items on this agenda? Ken, Altaf, did you have a declaration?

Yes, Chair. As I'm a councillor of Bridgend County Borough Council as well, and in one of the items probably we're talking—in No. 3 or No. 4—

Okay. You'll have to speak closer to the mike or put on your headphones, but I'm hoping that the Clerk has managed to hear what you have said.

Okay, in relation to item 4. Very good. Thank you very much for that. Is there anybody else who has a declaration of interest? I'll take that as a 'no'. 

2. Papurau i'w nodi
2. Papers to note

There are some papers to note, which are highlighted in the agenda. Has anybody got anything they wish to raise in public session before we move into private session for the rest of this meeting? Are you all content to agree the items that are listed on the agenda paper? Fine, thank you very much. 

3. Cynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42(vi) i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod
