That is a complete nonsense. I will certainly oppose the Bill and will be back here to vote against it, although not out of any sense of antagonism. I understand the Minister feels his hands are tied, but it is a disgraceful decision. What are these people in the court doing? It is not in the interests of people. It was the same with this ridiculous equality-based rubbish about gender weighting in the car insurance industry. God knows, my reputation on gender equality could not very well be impugned. The court is behaving in an insane fashion that is detrimental to the public good and must be challenged.
