00:00So if the member is going to challenge me on what I do for pupil welfare, where was the concern for pupil welfare when it came to keeping them out of schools?
00:09It wasn't there. So the member, if she wishes to continue to challenge me, and she's entitled to challenge me, but I love the kind of pity me approach that the member takes.
00:18She'll have a pop at me, but whenever I respond in kind, plays the victimhood card, she really needs to step up and actually not be so precious about people that challenge her.
00:27Mr Speaker, is it appropriate for the minister to make what amounts to misogynistic comments in this chamber?
00:36It is an absolute disgrace that he just distracts and attacks, doesn't bother us, but people see through it.
00:44And it is an absolute disgrace that a minister would act like that.
00:49It is not remotely the case.
00:51Thank you, Deputy Speaker. I don't need to be patronised.
00:59I just want to highlight that I asked the minister a rather straightforward question.
01:06You have the opportunity to apologise for making that statement right now, because I believe that was directed at me.
01:15There's no patronising. I was waiting for the minister to finish in accordance with what he's supposed to do.
01:19Would you care to make an apology, member?
01:22No.
01:23Just I learned from you.
01:25But, Deputy Speaker, you need to take a look at your...
01:28Member, you have an opportunity to retract and make an apology for the statement you made, or you can remove yourself from the chamber.
01:44I won't, Deputy Speaker, I won't make an apology, because you do need to look at the way that you do speak to many of the women in this chamber who do stand up and the way you talk there.
01:55So, I will not make an apology, and you can ask me again. My answer won't change.
02:02You are to remove yourself from the chamber right now.
