Lord Markham (Con)
I completely agree. I believe that, more than anything in society, we have to be tolerant of people and their ability to have free speech and express their views freely. I think we have all seen circumstances where people feel intimidated in expressing what they feel is right, particularly in this circumstance of stating clearly when a woman is a woman and when a man is a man.
Baroness Butler-Sloss (CB)
My Lords, I am very proud to be a grandmother as well as a mother. Will the Minister in fact talk to the GMC?
Lord Markham (Con)
Yes, I am very happy to do that and to make clear the feelings of this House.
