Labour — Houghton and Sunderland South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 April 2025

Debate

“For Women Scotland” Supreme Court Ruling

Contribution

Spaces that operate on a single-sex basis must do so on the basis of biological sex, but of course providers can offer inclusive services, should they choose to do so, so long as they are clear about who they are offering their services to. I agree with my hon. Friend that the last Government had a shameful record on the prosecution of rape and of domestic violence; at that time in this country, rape was all but decriminalised.
