I move amendment No. 8:

In page 10, lines 22 to 26, to delete all words from and including “woman-” in line 22 down to and including line 26 and substitute the following: “woman within the time of the Statute of Limitations,”.

The reason for the amendment is that the Bill wants to put a limit on women accessing the tribunal of six months after they find out about their slides or within nine months of the establishment of the tribunal. We want to ensure their rights are no different from others. Will the Minister explain why these periods were chosen?
