I thank all the witnesses, particularly Ms McLaughlin and Ms Millar. I will first ask all the witnesses about the recent basic pilot scheme introduced by the Minister. The basic income pilot scheme could see disabled artists excluded because it would bring their income over the income threshold. Has this issue been resolved or have their colleagues raised it with them?

How can we ensure that creative spaces are fully accessible for people to be able to independently attend festivals and events? The words in Mr. Naughton's opening statement, "Nothing About Us Without Us", are the core of this work. How do we ensure the experiences of people with disabilities are heard directly when we are discussing arts policy?
