Liz Truss accused Labour of 'caring more about ideology than the protection of children' today after he proposed gender law was blocked.
However, the Bill never reached the floor of the House this afternoon after a filibustering effort by Labour MPs timed it out. Once that point is reached, all Bills which have not been considered are rescheduled for a future date and fall to the bottom of the list for debate. Ms Badenoch said on the X social media site: 'Just now Labour MPs prevented debate on a new law to protect children and single-sex spaces. Instead they used parliamentary time to discuss ferret name choices.
Ms Truss said she has received supportive messages from people 'across the country and indeed all corners of the world who want to see my Bill put into law so that children and women get the protections they need in the face of the extreme agenda being pursued by militant gender ideologues'. She said there is 'confusion' about 'where the line is drawn and where a trans woman is, for all intents and purposes, still to be treated as a biological man'.
