I thank the Minister of State. I believe him and if he continues in his role, all of those things can happen. I feel very strongly about both of the amendments. In terms of the promotion of gender equality, I note that, as he said regarding the functions of the commission under section 5(10C)(4)(a), if so requested it could examine different issues. I ask that he considers requesting the Low Pay Commission to examine promoting gender equality in the context of its work and to conduct some new research. If that was to happen, it would contribute to the issue of quality.
