Mr. Liam Herrick:

Just very quickly, as we did not have an opportunity to answer it earlier, it is our position there should be an inclusion of a ground of discrimination relating to criminal conviction in both employment and access to goods and services beyond the question of spent convictions. We agree very much with the point there will of course need to be exemptions for particular areas of employment. We have recommended further research should be conducted to identify exactly how those exemptions should be drawn up, but our position is there should be a ground of discrimination is this area.
