We do not have to bring everything in on Royal Assent or immediately afterwards. We could make sure that the timing is correct so that we do not put anyone at a disadvantage. We will be consulting on regulations in 2010, so the consultation as a whole—what is in, what is out, what is a legitimate example and what is not—starts now and continues until September. We will consult on regulations when we have crystallised where they should be. This is a new area—the hon. Gentleman has made that point clearly—and it is a complex area. It is easy to get things wrong and to disadvantage the people we mean to help. We will consult on the regulations again in 2010 and aim to bring in the law in 2012. We will have it all complete before anybody can be put at a disadvantage by being, as the hon. Gentleman put it, technically unlawful.

We are discussing everything other than health and social care. The NHS and the social care sector have their own process in place; a pilot is already under way in the south-west to see how the NHS will cope, how much the proposal will cost, and how it will work with age discrimination law. That is running parallel to the passage of the Bill and we hope to have a report on that by October this year. It should point the way forward for the NHS. That is not what the hon. Gentleman refers to, but I should make it clear that there is a different process in place.

We will definitely consult on whether the holidays targeted at a particular age group by Saga should be allowed to continue under an exception. The provisions in part 3 are intended to ensure that, as the hon. Gentleman said, people receive fair and unbiased treatment when they buy goods and services.

I am sorry for giving such a lengthy response. Age discrimination, children and the question of how the provisions relate to the supply of goods and services are key areas. I hope that Conservative Members are satisfied, and that the amendment will be withdrawn.
