Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill (HL).
Equality Bill [Lords]
My hon. Friend makes his point pithily and eloquently, as ever. With due respect, may I take him back to a point that was interestingly but wrongly made by the hon. Member for Romsey (Sandra Gidley) earlier? She mentioned a possible analogy between the issue we are debating and the role of a midwife. Does a midwife have to have given birth to be a suitable person to deliver a baby? What we are talking about here is not a one-off function: it is an ongoing advocacy and representational role, and that is the important point that we have to bear in mind.
