00:00Well, I'm absolutely thrilled and lost in awe and admiration for your previous interviewee Kim Leadbeater,
00:08who was extraordinary in taking on this bill, which she knew would be controversial,
00:15and steering it through its second reading, as she did, with the most wonderful introduction from her,
00:22taking on all the concerns and explaining why this bill is so important.
00:28And it was followed by a very good debate, and there were as many people speaking in the debate against it as in favor,
00:36so I was on tenterhooks all the way through, and then we got the result that we had dreamed of.
