Proceeding contribution from Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Amendment) Bill.

Ladies in this debate; we want to know why they are frightened of open, public debate—
