Assuming the Bill passes, we need a debate on the impact the cutbacks are having, including the reductions in carer's benefit and jobseeker's allowance for young people. We need to know the impact this is having on young people in practice.

I support calls for a debate on Gaza, which is an important issue on which there is cross-party consensus. Finally, I am glad to see legislation announced by the Minister, Deputy Harney, on assisted human reproduction. I ask the Leader for an early debate on this issue.
