Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [Lords]

Is the wording of amendment No. 6 correct? Proposed new section 4A(e) seeks to include in the definition of a disabled person someone who"““does not have arms or has long-term loss of both arms””." I can envisage a situation in which someone has the short-term loss of both arms, perhaps because they have been involved in an accident and the arms have yet to be sewn back on, but I cannot envisage someone having the long-term loss of both arms. Should not the wording read ““or has the long-term loss of the use of both arms””?
