I thank the Minister for tabling that amendment. We discussed the term "mental handicap" when we dealt with the Disability Bill. It is politically correct to use proper language when discussing these issues. We have probably moved on by replacing the term "physically disabled" with "physically challenged". We can play with words at certain times.
