Equality Bill [Lords]

Will the hon. Gentleman contain himself until I have responded to the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Colne Valley (Kali Mountford)? On the experiences of transsexual people, there are specific difficult questions that we must resolve. I am not saying that there are not answers to those questions—I fully expect that there will be—but we must examine the provision of single-sex hospital wards and the situation in prisons. We must consider services that are provided to people that are based on their gender. I fully expect that we will find ways through that, but we must have a proper look at the matter. We also need to consider terminology and the way in which we define terms that are used in different ways, such as transsexual and transgender.
