On a point of order, I do not mean to be rude but I understand that this is a matter that is simply not contemplated by this Bill at all, whatever the situation in Britain. There is a situation in Britain where disability is a ground for abortion but it is not here so we ought to get on with the real Bill. With the greatest of respect to my colleagues, we have ventilated this to a certain extent, which is reasonable, but we should not go on about it because it is not part of the Bill and it is not contemplated by the legislation.
