Proceeding contribution from Baroness Burt of Solihull (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 March 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Women, Justice and Gender Equality.
Women, Justice and Gender Equality
I am grateful to the hon. Lady for her intervention and her kind remarks. All I can say in reply is that’s democracy for you. We Liberal Democrats must do a better selling job to get party members to agree. The inequality strikes at the heart of fairness. Unless people look beyond the value of the greater number, it is difficult for many Members to accept the principle that we should positively encourage some people over and above others.
