Can I start by declaring an interest? Members of my family were born in the 1950s. I actually live with one, and she gave me permission to mention it, so I'm okay. I was going to start differently, but I've just spent six minutes listening to the Conservative spokesperson and not once in those six minutes did I get any empathy for these women. Not once in those six minutes did I get an apology for these women. The Government has actually rejected the implications for these women, and that's disgraceful. It's about time they sat down, and stood up, maybe both together, to actually listen to the voices of these women—and it's been heard from Helen Mary Jones already this afternoon—to actually identify the differences and challenges faced by these women. Rose is not just one woman; every community we have has a Rose.
