I thank the Minister of State for his response. He has acknowledged the problem posed by the 14-day proposition and as his proposal meets that concern, I welcome his amendment.

I accept what the Minister of State said about health and safety concerns. He offered the example of scaffolding. Does he have any other scenarios in which the removal of the reference to work in order to introduce a broader obligation might also be problematic?
