Ms Ahmed-Sheikh
I agree very much with my hon. Friend. There were sighs from Members at the back of the Chamber because I allowed an intervention from her, but I did so because she has not yet spoken in the debate, and it is important that everybody’s voice is heard, not just those of the majority made up by men.
Mr Nigel Evans
My hon. Friend the Member for Selby and Ainsty (Nigel Adams) has not spoken either.
Ms Ahmed-Sheikh
Well, I will take his intervention then. I did not realise.
