Labour — Sheffield Hallam

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 May 2025

Debate

Gender Self-identification

Contribution

I think it is very problematic if we go down that track for all services. I think that the equality right and how it was interpreted previously were correct, and that people should be excluded where there is a need for that. It should be on the basis of a balance, and I think that is true for all protected characteristics and when they come into conflict.
