I want to ask the hon. Gentleman about something he said a minute ago—that the definition is inadequate for conditions that will not last 12 months but are likely to recur. Of course he knows that paragraph 2(1) of schedule 1 specifically provides that if an impairment stops having a substantial adverse effect on someone’s ability to carry out day-to-day activities, it is to be treated as none the less continuing to have that effect if it is likely to recur. That covers precisely what he was talking about.
