On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I would like some clarity from you, given that your office has received correspondence from the Christian Institute, the Free Speech Union and Genspect UK, saying:
"Given the significant public interest in this bill, we would welcome clear guidance from the chair confirming that members may probe both the meaning and the scope of 'gender identity' as used in the bill."
Discussion of that term has been shut down on a number of occasions by the Deputy Speakers, so it would be good to get clarity on what we can and cannot debate on the subject.
