[Penny Mordaunt is making the opening speech, which is traditionally funny and irreverent, in the Queen's Speech Debate]

Michael Cockerell - Narrator:
She recalls her training as a reservist in the Royal Navy.

Penny Mordaunt:
Fascinating though it was, I felt that the lecture and practical demonstration on how to care for your penis and testicles in the field failed to appreciate that some of us attending had been issued with the incorrect equipment.

Penny Mordaunt:
[commenting afterwards on her speech] My office did take the trouble to look up whether those two words - penis and testicles - had ever been said on the floor of the House before. And they have, but in a medical context. And we did check that saying them would not be unparliamentary, and concluded that they were "things" and therefore could be said.
