I will incorporate the Minister's valuable suggestion in an amendment for Report Stage if that would satisfy her. What will be the position for the people concerned between the passage of this Bill and the passage of the social welfare Bill? They would be at least advantaged if this Bill were passed with the inclusion of my amendment, but if it is passed without it, they will continue to be disadvantaged until the passage of the social welfare Bill. Is that not the case? Therefore, a number of people will suffer hardship who could be spared that.
