Text

I thank the Member for giving way. The concern that I raised at Committee was that you need to be 18 to enter a contract, so, as far as I am concerned, if you went and booked a hotel room, you would be entering a contract. I still have not got my head around how you would square that with people between 16 and 17 years of age being discriminated against.
