Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Jess Phillips and Sonia Kumar

Wednesday 7th May 2025 Commons Chamber

[Jess Phillips]

I will absolutely protect my own in this. My own are the women in our country, who, for the last 14 years, have seen no efforts made. People say terrible things, and the Leader of the House was right to apologise. I wonder how many of those on the Opposition Front Bench asked the former Prime Minister to apologise for saying that looking into the lives of the girls we are talking about, through a statutory inquiry that had already happened, was spaffing money up the wall. Where was the outrage?

[Sonia Kumar (Dudley) (Lab)]
