00:00If there's an inquiry in another department that's looking at it, then that's what's happening.
00:05And of course, it wasn't until after the inquiry that we discovered this.
00:09Things were done post that, the Grooming Gangs Task Force, asking why I, as Business Secretary,
00:14remember the Equalities, excuse me, the Equalities Minister was a secondary role.
00:19There was a lot that I was doing on puberty blockers, stopping children from being sterilized at a young age.
00:24There was so much that I did on race as an issue, the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities.
00:28So please, I'm not going to take any lectures from people who want to pretend that I didn't do enough.
00:33I did every single thing I could within my power to help women, children, and those of an ethnic minority background.
00:39But as I, yes, but this was something, this was something, thank you.
00:43This was something that had an inquiry and the details of the inquiry came out.
00:48We did what we could. I have said it wasn't enough.
00:51Even before I became leader of the opposition, I spoke about it.
