I propose to take Questions Nos. 1 to 4 together.

The Cabinet committee on social affairs and public services oversees the implementation of programme for Government commitments in the areas of social policy and public services. The committee covers a range of topics, including immigration and integration, with a particular focus on equality and public service reform. Other topics covered by the committee include support, social protection, arts and culture, and justice issues such as policing reform, community safety and domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. The Cabinet committee on social affairs and public services will meet on 27 September and will continue to meet in the weeks ahead.

The Cabinet committee on economic recovery and investment oversees the implementation of programme for Government commitments aimed at sustainable economic recovery, investment and job creation, including through the implementation of Harnessing Digital, our national digital strategy. Sectoral issues are discussed by the Cabinet committee as relevant and required, and this can include the audiovisual sector. The committee last met on 25 May and will meet again on 16 November. In addition to attending meetings of the Cabinet committee, I have regular engagement with Ministers at Cabinet and individually to discuss priority issues relating to their Departments and government more widely.
