I will not take much time, because I know that Members want to pursue the Bill as rapidly as possible, but I want some clarification from the Minister, because I would be worried if I thought that we were taking a step back.

There are employees in this country who work in hazardous conditions, which might require the employer to work with them and their trade union to ensure that they have one medical check a year. I seek assurance from the Minister that there is no way we are going to stop or financially impede the opportunity to take that check, depending upon the type of work the employee undertakes. I would of course like all employees in any company to be treated equally, and if an employer wants to undertake an annual medical check, all their employees should be treated the same, but for individuals working in hazardous conditions, we should ensure that we will put nothing in the way of checks occurring more frequently than once a year.
