We should bear in mind that some of us are very worried that aspects of the Equality Act are currently under attack, sometimes from members of the medical profession. Does the Minister accept that that is therefore not an adequate protection and that the evidence before us says as much? In answering, will she perhaps respond to my noble friend Lord Scriven’s point and give us examples where people have been able to take action by reference not to the law but to a code of practice being ignored, because I am not aware of one?
