The Minister may consider bringing forward something on Report Stage that would be gender neutral. I am opposing the section because it is not gender neutral and would like a new section to be brought forward on Report Stage. Obviously, I do not have the right to call a vote on the issue, but we should not support the section, although I would fully support on Report Stage a section that was gender neutral. I oppose the section in the hope the Minister would bring forward something more appropriate on Report Stage.
