I have two questions. Notwithstanding that the Minister of State's list and our list has "includes, but is not limited to", our list would be more open to legal challenge than the Minister of State's. That is the Minister of State's first argument. The second argument is that there is some justification for the nine categories that are in this section of the Bill but not a justification for the others. What were the grounds on which the nine categories in the section were included? I am inviting the Minister of State to convince me of the error of my amendment.

If you are going to have a list, and you accept that the list is never going to be exhaustive, why would you argue against this? With the greatest of respect, this Bill is 241 pages long and we are adding a sentence and a half or two sentences. It is not like it is going to break the back of the printing office or the Bills Office.
