I move amendment No. 395:

In page 86, to delete line 26.

Section 106 lists the issues to which this Bill does not apply. The amendment proposes to remove the issue of voting from this list as voters are entitled to vote, regardless of their capacity. Again, this is a significant element to be highlighted within the Bill. This relates to voting and people having the right to vote, regardless of their capacity. As politicians, we know that only too well.
