I move amendment No. 9:

In page 4, line 32, after “of” where it firstly occurs to insert “supporting access to or”.

With amendment No. 9, I am seeking to ensure that somebody who might be accompanying somebody else - for example, a spouse - would not inadvertently fall under the text of the Bill. However, I am happy to withdraw the amendment now and address the issue on Report Stage. Clearly, we will tease out these issues in the meantime.
