Do we have a single disabled person in the list of the Board members? I think that is a marginalised group and they should really have been included on the Board. If you have any flexibility, Mr. Minister, you should ensure you replace one of these others with a disabled person because I think that they are an important component of our society. In conclusion, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Minister has done a good job in terms of geographical balancing and gender. However, he should take account of what I have just said, that they should include, at least, one disabled person on the Board. Thank you."}
