The strong legal advice I have is that when setting up a register like this, one needs to make this exemption based on the type of threshold that I outlined. In light of other provisions in the Bill, we should remember that the donor has consented to the giving up of parentage and the pathway to parentage for the child. The donor has put himself or herself in that situation. One must take this point into account.

I can consider the Deputy's question on the use of the term "well-being". I will take further advice on it and revert to him on Report Stage.
