In a former life, I used to work at Westminster, and I remember that the messages received after someone takes a stand like this (from both the critics and the supporters) make a huge difference in terms of how likely people are to speak up again in the future!
Interesting that Baroness Emma Nicholson also made the point about the erasure of the word woman in that debate, but because she is a Conservative peer and a woman no one is applauding her. Women’s voices are still ignored. DOI - never voted Conservative in my life.
May be worth mentioning that it is really easy to send Lord Philip Hunt a message of support or thanks by clicking on the "Send a message" button here: https://www.theyworkforyou.com/peer/13353/lord_hunt_of_kings_heath
