Chair's comment

Dr Sarah Wollaston, Chair of the Liaison Committee, said:

"These hearings will examine important areas of domestic policy. Given that this session follows such a significant EU Council meeting and recent events in Parliament, on this occasion will start with a focus on Brexit negotiations and transitionary arrangements. The Committee will also be asking about sustainable long term funding for health and social care and explore progress since the Prime Minister's pledge on the steps of Downing Street to fight burning injustices. Whilst making sure that Parliament gets its own house in order when it comes to tackling sexual harassment, we must not lose sight of the impact of this in many different workplaces and we plan to raise this with the Prime Minister to ask about her plans."
