00:00Over the last few weeks I've spoken to colleagues of all political persuasions
00:04and there is definitely an appetite to have this debate now and I do think the
00:08mood has changed. I think the mood has changed publicly and I think it probably
00:11has changed within Parliament so I have spoken to quite a lot of the new intake
00:13of MPs and they think the time is right to have this debate. They are nervous in
00:19some respects as am I because it's such an important issue and it's such an
00:23emotive issue but I think the consensus is that the time is right to have that
00:27debate and discussion and I really hope that for my part I can facilitate that
00:32in what is a respectful and compassionate way.
