I welcome that section 34 seeks to be trans inclusive in respect of breast-feeding provisions. However, in the proposed amendment to the definition of an employee who is breast-feeding as outlined in section 2(1), I propose the word "their" is inserted after the pronoun "her" in order to ensure the definition as well as the intention of the section is trans inclusive. I would appreciate it if the Minister could accept this relatively simple amendment as it would ensure we are being consistent in our approach as regards both policy and language when it comes to trans inclusivity.
