Everybody in the House will be aware of my strong opposition not only to this legislation but the outcome of the referendum. However, I am a democrat and the people have spoken. I remain concerned about the welfare and wellbeing of children and what may happen in our schools. I deplore some of the calls by the INTO and others that children be sexualised from an early age, which I believe is one of the consequences of this change.
