I cannot accept amendment No. 14 as the list provided for in the Bill is not exhaustive. I note there may be a suspicion that the list is an absolute and limited list but that is not the case. The list is not exhaustive and it is in line with the European Union asylum qualification directive. This is already encompassed within the text of the Bill and there is no need to prescribe it separately.
