We looked very carefully, under the public sector equality duty, at the impact this policy would have and we have shared that information with the Social Security Advisory Committee. I am under no obligation to publish it.

My hon. Friend makes a really important point in apprenticeship week. Absolutely: apprentices will be exempt from this policy.
