Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Saqib Bhatti and Gillian Keegan

Monday 17th July 2023 Commons Chamber

[Gillian Keegan]

I can assure my hon. Friend that I am more than capable of defining what a woman is. It is true that some schools are asking for guidance in this area, so we intend to bring forward guidance. I am working with my right hon. Friend the Equalities Minister to bring that forward in the near term.

[Saqib Bhatti (Meriden) (Con)]

Last week, 14 officers from West Midlands police were recognised at the Police Bravery Awards for forming a human chain and breaking through the ice as Fin, Tom, Jack and Sam fell through in sub-zero temperatures at Babbs Mill lake in Kingshurst. I thank the Minister for his time on this previously. What progress has been made in revising the relationships, health and sex education curriculum guidelines specifically on understanding the implications of cold water shock on the body?

[Saqib Bhatti (Meriden) (Con)]

The Secretary of State will be aware of the tragic incident that occurred in my constituency on the icy lake in Kingshurst, where four children tragically lost their lives. Will she agree to meet me to discuss my campaign to educate children on water safety, to avoid such tragedies in future?

[Gillian Keegan]

Yes, I am committed to seeing what we can do to improve that, and I will definitely meet my hon. Friend.
