I completely agree with everything the Member has said, which I don't often do across the party, but in this instance I do completely agree. We don't have any preconceived ideas, really, of what we're expecting to come forward, and any project that comes forward and asks for support will be looked at on its merits and sustainability and so on. And it's not just about—. It is the three aims of this, so it is the 'celebrate, educate, participate' bits. And the participation, I hope I made clear, is not just political participation; it's participation in all walks of life across everything in our country and beyond. 

I completely agree with the Member around all of the things about encouraging people to come forward and giving them support around some of the things that happen in public life, particularly to women, and this whole issue around how people look and so on being more important than what you say or what your intellectual ability is, or whatever, is a matter dear to my heart. 

We've also been, today, celebrating, actually, Internet Safety Day, for example, and there's a huge issue with social media around getting young women to stand and some of the abuse that many women in public life have to face. So, it's very important that, as part of this celebration, we actually set forward—and I think I said right at the end of my statement—some of the difficulties that today's women face that perhaps they didn't face in the past that we also need to support them to do. 

So, I completely agree with everything you said. We do want to support as many women to come forward into these roles from as diverse a range of backgrounds and positions as possible, because the whole point of this is to get equality across the piece, and you can't do that unless you have the whole range. But I do think that the thing I would like to emphasise very much is this: what we actually want are people to believe that they can do it, and in order to do that you have to have appropriate role models for your own particular sets of beliefs, for your own communities, for your own—. You have to be able to recognise yourself in what you aim to be, so it's very important that we do get that cross-bench support, if you like, for this going forward.
