I think it is right that government should have passed legislation that requires that relationships and sex education is taught in schools, but at the same time, I also agree that it is right that parents should be able to choose the moment at which their children become exposed to that information.
Andrea Leadsom
As leader of the House, I seek to do exactly that, treating all members of Parliament with courtesy and respect.
The E.U. without Britain is like fish without chips.
Like so many of my generation and those younger, I have spent most of my life in the E.U., and my instincts were naturally for reform from within.
I take my responsibilities to this House very seriously.
The reason I say 'never say never' is because I do not think that there should be another independence referendum in Scotland - I do not think it's in their interest - but on the other hand, I am a big believer in devolution.
I believe that the love of same-sex couples is every bit as valuable as that of opposite-sex couple.
I am a big fan of seeing more women in public life.
The wellbeing we all crave goes hand in hand with economic success.
With every ounce of my heart, my brain, and my experience, I absolutely believe that the bright future for all of our children and grandchildren is when we vote Leave.
One of my own kids was in a class with a friend who had two mums, and that was absolutely normal right from a very young age. I think it's important that we absolutely accept equality in every area whilst at the same time respecting that parents may have concerns about how young their children are when they become aware of these things.
I'm passionate about parliament democracy.
Genuinely, as a mum, all the sunlit uplands are when we leave the European Union.
I think people will always do have an interest in policy areas, but Brexit is certainly got people talking and thinking and, so, probably more engaged than they would otherwise be.
No one needs to fear our decision to leave the E.U. We will do so carefully, reassuring our European friends and those businesses who are worrying about change.
Banks were already seen as greedy and arrogant. They have now reached the depths of humiliation in the wake of the LIBOR manipulation, PPI mis-selling, and bank swaps mis-selling.
My husband knows who I am. My friends, my family - they know I would never lie.
Certainty in politics is never a given.
Decarbonising our energy system is not some abstract regulatory requirement. It is an essential responsibility that we hold towards our children and grandchildren as the only way to effectively counter the threat of climate change.
Hunting is alive and well, and so it should be.
Having children has no bearing on the ability to be PM. I deeply regret that anyone has got the impression that I think otherwise.
My Twitter feed is polluted with vitriolic personal abuse, much of it gendered. Like almost all female Members of Parliament, I have both seen and experienced inappropriate and sexist behaviour.
I envisage there being absolutely no regulation whatsoever - no minimum wage, no maternity or paternity rights, no unfair dismissal rights, no pension rights - for the smallest companies that are trying to get off the ground, in order to give them a chance.
What I'm suggesting is making an offer to the E.U. for things that were already agreed in the withdrawal agreement that will enable us to leave with a managed exit.
By cutting the red tape that comes out of Brussels, we will free our farmers to grow more, sell more, and export more great British food whilst upholding our high standards for plant and animal health and welfare.
I am a passionate, pragmatic, and positive believer in Brexit, and with my three-step plan, we can decisively leave the E.U.
I just don't accept the premise that we have any economic issue with voting to leave. I think it's absolutely balanced.
It's an uncomfortable fact that leaving the European Union in a way that is true to the referendum result is becoming harder and harder to deliver.
Parliament's centuries of history have been overwhelmingly dominated by men, but things are changing.
A century after some women first got the vote, we are upping the pressure for change to consign Parliament's legacy of inequality in the past.
There are so many double standards that seem to be applied only to female MPs. I've had infinite comments about what I'm wearing when the focus should be on what I'm saying.
I wholeheartedly believe that same-sex couples have as valid a relationship with their partner as do heterosexuals. I also believe that in the eyes of the state, we all deserve to be treated equally.
I have deep sympathy with the hundreds of my constituents who fear that legislation for same-sex marriage will profoundly encroach - although this may be unintended - on their right to live according to their faith.
We in the so called 'Western civilisations' have so much to learn from other cultures, and they would stand to gain so much by learning from ours. We don't have all the answers - far from it... but nor do any other culture or religion.
If the government has any courage, it will punish those at the top of failed banks. Accountability is critical in every area of human endeavour - there has to be a penalty for failure; otherwise, it's only a matter of time before the economic pain our banks have caused to so many innocent businesses and homeowners is forgotten.
I want to be crystal clear that everyone has an equal stake in our society and in the future of our country. That is what I believe, and it is what I have always believed.
Being a mum means you have a very real stake in the future of our country.
When in doubt, cook a Sunday roast, get the family around you, and you'll feel fine afterwards.
If I was prime minister, there would be absolutely zero risk that Brexit wouldn't happen.
My real passion is social justice, resolving the lack of empowerment, the lack of skills, the fact that young people can't get on the housing ladder, they feel they can't have a decent job, they feel they aren't in control of their lives.
I am a very committed Christian. I think my values and everything I do is driven by that.
We can demonstrate to the world that the U.K. remains a beacon for opportunity, fairness, and democratic leadership.
We can restore that vital trust between politics and the people.
Transparency will be at the heart of everything I do - it's what parliament expects, and it's what the public deserves.
I urge the Government to look carefully at scrapping the entire burden of regulation on micro-businesses with, say, three employees or fewer.
We must give young people and others who cannot find a job a direct and clear incentive to create one for themselves by starting a business.
Over the centuries, the country has looked on as Parliament has faced historic decisions. Even in the most challenging of times, we have pulled together and put our duty above all else.
I know what we need to get done to leave the E.U. in a smooth fashion - and I also know that we do not need is a lengthy extension.
What gets you out of bed in the morning? This is a question I'm often asked as a politician. It tends to be closely followed by a dozen other questions about what I'll do in 'x' scenario or whether I'll resign if 'y' happens.
I believed in a number of the E.U.'s core values - the promotion of peace, global trading opportunities, and the values of freedom and democracy. These are areas in which our great country leads the world.
