Before I put the Question, let me say that my co-Chair appealed to people at the start of the debate to deal with this sensitive issue in a respectful manner. Before she left, she pointed out to me that, during her time in the Chair, it had been dealt with in that way. I thank everybody, as others have, for the respectful and thoughtful way in which they have put their arguments during my time in the Chair. People feel strongly about this issue, but it is no reason to be abusive, and I do not think that people have been. Thank you for that.
Question put and agreed to.
Resolved,
That this House has considered e-petitions 623243 and 627984, relating to the definition of sex in the Equality Act 2010.
7.52 pm
Sitting adjourned.
