Engagements

Question
With the United Kingdom currently 51ston the women's representation league table, does my right hon. Friend agree that more needs to be done to get more women into this House, and particularly Labour women? Will he do all that he can to facilitate that?
Answer

I agree entirely with my hon. Friend. I think that we can be proud of what has been achieved since 1997, particularly on the Labour Benches, with the additional representation of women, but we recognise, as I hope all parties do, that we need to do much more.
