In conclusion, I can assure the House that all the issues can be addressed in an amendment which would achieve the objective of reducing the growing incidence of assault and violence against both women and girls—as highlighted by the Minister; I really appreciate his comments on that—and the disabled and vulnerable in particular. It would reflect the enormous problem that exists on the buses, as highlighted in the Unite survey. We must put an end to the growing trend of violence against and abuse of passengers and reinstate Clause 40.
