Debate relating to the definition of “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 will be in Westminster Hall on 12 June 2023 4:30pm

[IwantToRetire]

Just posting this as on a thread elsewhere I made some disparaging remarks that the debate will be shuffled off to some small committee room.

But they must think that more than a few MPs are wanting to take part as I have just seen it will be in Westminster Hall.

Will be interesting to see which MPs are willing to state views about the reality of biological sex in public!

Event will be broadcast live.

(*) Not sure what this means - is she the Chair?

My god Dodds answer the sodding question

Typical Labour

Err

No idea.

who knows!

Well, that was 5 very confusing minutes....

Soo glad everyone else is unclear about Dodds. So hard to follow.

😂

Maria Gower?

Oh, Hon Member for Bridgend has not returned! Alas!

I love my politics clear as mud, somehow totally appropriate for how murky gender travails are.

Oh, Jamie Wallis didn’t come back to debate.

urghhhh god i get why my mate whinges about her mp now

So this is Labour not saying anything and saying it is the problem that Tories haven't said what they are going to do so they cant comment.

And trying to divert the issue as there are other things the government hasn't done things so shouldn't do anything about this.

So the transwomen has flounced?

Intentional maybe? Plausible deniability for being on either side?

Jamie Wallis is my MP - the shame

Labour's point via Dodds seems to be that there needs to be more review, more scrutiny, more talk, more debate.

I suspect the govt might take that with relief tbh. Kick the can down the road.

Yup. The implication being there is not enough love in the room.

Who is Janie Wallis?

They kept correctly referring to him as he??

He also clearly hadn't sought permission from the boy's parents to tell that story.

Jamie.

Stunning and brave of you to admit that

Go Joanna!
