I have a question on the amendment. I understand the government's position, and, indeed, this is an improvement. I do note, though, that two of the government's own committees recommended lifting the age to 16. Why did the government choose not to take the expert advice of the Women's Economic Equality Taskforce and the Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee?
