I move amendment No. 6:

In page 8, line 25, after “avert” to insert “or substantially avert”.

The Minister indicated that this was to avert risk. Is he saying that it refers to averting the risk of a continuing pregnancy, not the risk of serious harm but the risk that a continuing pregnancy would add to serious harm?
