00:10Mr Speaker, does the Prime Minister now accept that when he said that it was the law that trans women were women, he was wrong?
00:19Well, Mr Speaker, let me be clear. I welcome the Supreme Court ruling on this issue.
00:25It brings clarity and it will give confidence to women and, of course, to service providers.
00:32The Equality and Human Rights Commission will now issue updated guidance and it's important that that happens and that all service providers then act accordingly.
00:42This space is based on biological sex and we will, but also to ensure...
00:47I do think this is the time now to lower the temperature, to move forward and to conduct this debate with the care and compassion that it deserves.
00:59And I think that should unite the whole House.
01:01Thank you, Mr Speaker. This time last year, train manufacturing at Alstom...

01:21diminishing himself at this dispatch box by making trans jokes whilst the mother-of-murdered trans teenager watched from the public gallery just up there.
01:31That will never be my approach. My approach will be to support the ruling, to protect single-sex spaces and treat everybody with dignity and respect.
01:41And I believe there's a consensus in this House and the country for that approach.
01:46Andrew Peaks!
01:47Thank you, Mr Speaker.
