I thank the witnesses for coming in and for the presentations. I have a few questions. I want to start with the PAS. With regard to the equality, diversity and inclusion strategy, is it intended for this to be reviewed annually? How will the impact of this report be measured?

Could the witnesses elaborate, for the benefit of people watching this meeting, how the internship actually worked in the Department of Justice? They might talk us through that, particularly in the context of what the success rate was for people and whether anybody got full-time employment out of it. I would appreciate it if they would talk us through the process from the beginning to the end.

Professor McGinnity said a great deal about targeted approaches, so I will put her on the spot. What targeted approaches does she wish to see emerging? Otherwise, as she said, we will be producing reports. What are we going to take on here today?
