The reading of lists in the chamber is usually not allowed, and typically members are only allocated a maximum of three minutes to speak, however deputy speaker Dame Eleanor Laing suspended the time limit.

‘Killed women are common’

Ms Phillips said: "In this place we count what we care about. We count the vaccines done, the number of people on benefits, we rule or oppose based on a count and we obsessively track that data.

“We love to count data of our own popularity. However, we don't currently count dead women.

"Dead women is a thing we've all just accepted as part of our daily lives.”

She added: "Dead women is just one of those things. Killed women are not vanishingly rare. Killed women are common."
