Professor Angela O'Hagan:

In Scotland we have the Equality and Human Rights Commission, which is a GB body, and the Scottish Human Rights Commission, which is an organ of the Scottish Parliament. At cabinet level we have a cabinet secretary for social justice. I am probably getting the current title wrong. The minister with immediate oversight of the work of the equality budget advisory group, EBAG, is the Minister for Equalities and Older People.

The position is not at cabinet secretary level but we have meetings with the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Economy as well as the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Housing and Local Government and our Minister for Equalities and Older People.
