I am conscious that we have had two goes already on Committee Stage and we are debating this somewhat in a vacuum. I thank the Minister of State for outlining so clearly what will be in the Government's Report Stage amendments. I particularly welcome the much higher bar that will be set in terms of discrimination on the grounds of section 37(1)(b), which is the real concern for all of us. I am conscious that the Minister of State has set out the three-stage test that will be in the Government's amendments.
