Equality Bill [HL]

My Lords, I thank all noble Lords who have taken part in the debate either supporting my amendment or pointing out why it is unnecessary. In particular, I thank the Minister for what she said about the possibility of thinking of the way in which children will figure more significantly. As she will understand, I am not entirely happy. I would much rather include the convention in the Bill, but I am grateful for the extra thought that she has undertaken to give to the matter between now and Third Reading. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
