Criminal Justice (Temporary Release of Prisoners) Bill 2001: Committee Stage.
Obviously I will not persuade the Minister of State to change his mind today, but I ask him and his Department to examine the issue again. The Labour Party does not accept that our amendment would require the Government to gender-proof, amend and redraft all previous legislation. Therefore, the Minister of State's reasoning for not accepting the amendment is incorrect and I ask him to re-examine the issue with his Department in that context.
