Labour — Battersea

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 November 2024

Debate

Lords Spiritual (Women) Act 2015 (Extension) Bill [Lords]

Contribution

I congratulate my hon. Friend on her speech; she is setting out exactly why this small piece of legislation is so important. I also thank her for acknowledging that for 30 years, we have seen women being ordained. Does she agree that celebrating the progress that women have made, not only in this place but in the Church, is crucial? I am very grateful to the Government for bringing forward the Bill, so that we can get it through.
