The example the Deputy has given would be covered under the current definition. A person involved in faith formation or giving classes would come under a number of the definitions in the Bill as it is drafted.

It has been subject to a lot of work and was the subject of extensive legal advices and scrutiny during the drafting of the Bill. I reassure the Deputy that the points she makes on faith formation are covered by the approach we have taken.
