My only concern about the Minister's suggestion is that the definitions arise in section 2. As I have instanced, the definition of "relevant service" first presents in section 2, on line 14 of page 6. I accept it refers to Schedule 1. This section of the Bill defines "relevant service" as "any work or activity specified in Schedule 1". I am asking for clarification on how service providers are defined in the Bill. Do any of the three parts of the definition in Schedule 1 that I have referenced include childminders? I do not see any such reference. I am anxious to know. I believe this is an important area.
