Can the Minister of State tell us something about section 2? Is she satisfied the section contains sufficient safeguards to ensure it does not fall between stools like the determination of the existence of a disability. I forget the exact term. We had a discussion about it in another context. It concerns the definition of a disabled person and recognition of a disability for the purposes of the use or control of a vehicle. Is the Minister of State satisfied that the definition in the Bill is not dependent on a definition under the Disability Act?
