I move amendment No. 2:

In page 3, line 16, after “school,” to insert the following:“to amend section 7 of the Equal Status Act 2000 in relation to its application to recognised primary schools, to further amend that Act to provide for the application for admission to recognised primary schools by students of minority religions;”.

This is an amendment to the Long Title of the Bill to reflect the fact that the Bill will amend the Equal Status Act. There is a series of amendments which I have tabled. They deal with the use of religion as a criterion in an admissions policy.
