I have ten minutes but a wise person once said to me there is no need to take the full ten minutes if it only takes one minute to say what needs to be said. We are supporting the Bill. We wish to make the point that applying a maximum age of 60 seems anachronistic. There are people who are contributing to society far beyond those years, into their 70s and 80s. The Minister might give us some justification for the age of 60. We are supporting the Bill.
