I should say at the outset that amendment 9 is a probing amendment so I do not intend to push it to a Division. I tabled it because, reading clauses 13 and 14 together, it was not entirely clear what additional protection for disabled people clause 18 brought to the table. It may be better to have all the protected characteristics listed—and clause 18 may do no harm—but I would like the Minister to set out what it brings to the table that is not covered by clauses 13 and 14. Given that we have said that clause 14 may have to be reconsidered, it might be worth having that discussion.

I will speak briefly to amendment 198, because we have dealt with this issue and the Minister has been constructive. It would make the Bill state that there could be more favourable treatment in relation to the protected characteristic of disability. However, the Minister generously offered to work with the DCC to look at the wording of clause 13 and to return on Report, and this proposal essentially covers the same argument.
