Mr Speaker
The point is made: as long as right hon. and hon. Members are standing to speak in that debate, I shall be in my Chair.
Kevin Brennan (Cardiff West) (Lab)
We now have a women’s Minister who could not also have the equalities brief because she voted against gay marriage, and an equalities Minister who said that there were no women members of the Monetary Policy Committee because it was appointed on merit. May we have the novel innovation of a joint statement by the women’s Minister and the equalities Minister so that we can find out whether they are singing from the same song sheet?
Mr Lansley
I know both the new equalities Minister and the new women’s Minister very well, and the hon. Gentleman is on a very sticky wicket in attempting to criticise them.
