Labour — Houghton and Sunderland South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 April 2025

Debate

“For Women Scotland” Supreme Court Ruling

Contribution

I do recognise the hon. Gentleman’s good intentions in asking that question, but I would say to him that, like many women in this House, I have experienced that too. We know what it is like as women to face that kind of abuse. We must recognise that there can be no place for such abuse in public life and that we have a responsibility to change that culture and climate and to encourage women to come forward and stand for elected office.
