I move:

Bill entitled an Act to provide for a period of paid leave consequent upon the loss of a pregnancy and for that purpose to amend the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997, to extend the protection against unfair dismissals conferred by the Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977 to 2015, and to provide for the consequential amendment of certain other Acts. Furthermore, an Act to provide for matters including the establishment of a register relating to the record of pregnancy loss and the maintenance of this opt-in register of pregnancy loss, which shall be closed to searching by members of the public.

Question put and agreed to.
