I am grateful to the Minister for that response. I am comfortable with her suggestion on amendment 198. As I said, we have discussed that issue and she has been constructive about how she will approach that by looking at clause 13.

Amendment 9 is a probing amendment. The Minister has explained what extra benefits disabled people will have through the inclusion of that protected characteristic in clause 18. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
