My Lords, I am encouraged by the Minister’s response. As the noble Baroness, Lady Howe, said, this is deeply discriminatory against a small group of men. I am, however, reassured that we will continue to hold discussions during the Bill’s passage. I thank other noble Lords who have spoken, and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment 47 withdrawn.
Amendment 48 had been withdrawn from the Marshalled List.
