A busy week for Equalities & Human Rights last week, and for economy issues too, with GB Energy being confirmed in Aberdeen, and the launch of The Fair Work Convention Scotland's Hospitality Inquiry report.

I was pleased to join demonstrations outside The Scottish Parliament with North Sea Knitters & WASPI - Women Against State Pension Inequality Campaign women, all calling for urgent action to tackle the climate emergency and undo the cuts to winter fuel payments.

I also urged The Scottish Government to retain robust #RentControls and tenants' protections in the Housing Bill, focus on homelessness prevention, and support the Fair Work Charter.

I will continue working with Engender & Close The Gap to strengthen Public Sector Equality Duty obligations.

And, this coming week, in amongst all the events and debates that will be happening in Parliament, I'm looking forward recognising the bicentenary of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service!
