Proceeding contribution from Baroness Keeley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 March 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Women, Justice and Gender Equality.
Women, Justice and Gender Equality
I cite the example of Trafford council, of which I used to be a member, which benefited from a female leader—who is now my right hon. Friend the Minister for Children and Families—and a female deputy leader. The council got to the point at which it had women as 50 per cent. of the cabinet, and 40 per cent. of the Labour councillors were female. Does my hon. Friend agree that, again, it is a question of role models? We had two excellent role models in the leader and deputy leader of the council.
