Dr. Anne Smith:

To follow on from what Professor McWilliams said, we have approached the Joseph Rowntree Foundation as a potential funding body but we still have to go through the same process we went through for this project. The deadline is the end of November and if we are unsuccessful, we will be looking at other sources. If anyone in the room knows of any other sources of funding, we are open to suggestions.

On the Chairman's point about using plain language that people can understand, I totally agree with him. We must avoid using "legalese", as it is referred to. That is where the use of human rights experts could come into play because they could use examples from everyday life to show how a bill of rights could help this particular issue. It is about relating the bill of rights with daily issues people face every day.
