Equality Bill [HL]

Will the noble Baroness clarify her concern about the people who are affected by these transgender regulations? So far as I remember, when we passed the transgender legislation it was made clear that there was practically no way that anybody could pass on information that somebody was transgender. His birth certificate was going to be altered and it was going to be an offence to mention the fact to anybody. Is her concern perhaps—I know she mentioned medical treatment—because the medical records will still contain the information about the person being transgender? Is that the weakness?
