This is agreed with the proviso that we can come back to this on Report Stage. There are particular concerns about the term "commercial surrogacy" and I do not think any of us want to see a growth in that area but there is a reality that for a lot of gay male couples, the US is the main country they have gone to and will continue to go to. There are different arrangements there in terms of the costs involved and payment. That is worth looking at again on Report Stage.
