00:00And neither can I in good conscience leave in place the vile policy known as
00:04the Rape Clause. Requiring women to prove if their child has been conceived
00:10non-consensually to receive support. I'm proud to be Britain's first female
00:17Chancellor of the Exchequer. I take the responsibilities that come with that
00:22seriously. I will not tolerate the grotesque indignity of women of the Rape
00:29Clause any longer. It is dehumanising, it is cruel, and I will remove it from the
00:37statute book.
