I congratulate the families of the witnesses, who must be very proud. The four young women will be on this side of the fence one day. I was given a badge to commemorate next year's centenary of women having the right to vote. Our democracy and the voice of women is safe when we have young women such as the witnesses who are so clear and articulate about something that is very close to their hearts. I congratulate them, their families and their school and thank them for engaging with us.
