What Labour Women's Declaration are calling a "historic speech":

Lord Philip Hunt speaks in support of the amendment put by Baroness Noakes (Con), "That the Bill be now read a second time, at the end insert 'but that this House regrets that the Bill is drafted in a way which does not respect the fact that only women can be pregnant'"
