At the very least, therefore, there should either be an express amendment to the Bill, which would be a matter for the proposer, that addresses this directly; or a review, which I ask for in Amendment 829, which would look at what has been happening in the first year after the Bill becomes an Act and comes into effect and how it is operating. It is really important that the large numbers of people each year who stand to be in the class of people who might be affected are not disadvantaged by the Bill. It would be an unintended consequence and a most undesirable one. I put the amendment before the Committee on that basis.
