Text

I thank my colleague for that answer. As he said, it is extremely important that, as a facilitator of democratic debate and government here and as an employer, the Assembly is an exemplar. What are the formal or informal means whereby information or best practice, as has been gathered by, for example, the Youth Assembly, the Women's Parliament or the Women's Caucus, can be filtered back to, for example, the Executive Office-led working group on violence against women and girls, in order to ensure that, as a corporate body, we are contributing to that work?
