I thank all the charities that support bereaved parents—including the Miscarriage Association, for which I am proud to say I have just become an ambassador—for the fantastic work they do. I thank Tommy’s and Sands. There are also some individuals I want to thank. We do not say thank you enough in this place, so I will take this opportunity to thank them. My particular thanks go to Vicki Robinson of the Miscarriage Association and the former employment rights Minister, my hon. Friend the Member for Ellesmere Port and Bromborough (Justin Madders). He was here earlier, and I have said thank you to him many times, but I put it on record now. I also thank the former Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary, my right hon. Friend the Member for Ashton-under-Lyne (Angela Rayner), and the teams of civil servants in the Department for Business and Trade and in the office of the former Deputy Prime Minister. I thank, in the other place, Baron Brennan of Canton—Kevin Brennan—for tabling the amendment proposed by the Women and Equalities Committee, and I thank the Committee’s Clerks.
