Equality Bill

Perhaps the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster can clarify the position. I was following her in reading Part 1 of Schedule 19, which is entitled ““Public Authorities: General””. I saw under the heading ““Ministers of the Crown and government departments””: ““A Minister of the Crown””, and "““A government department other than the Security Service, the Secret Intelligence Service or the Government Communications Headquarters””." She was, however, referring to another type of body. Then, when I looked in the remaining part of Part 1, under the same heading, I did not see the words that she is now explaining appearing anywhere. I am simply seeking further clarification. Could she, please, give noble Lords a little more chapter and verse of exactly where this can be found?
