Proceeding contribution from Jim Sheridan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Topical debate on International Women's Day.
International Women's Day
My right hon. and learned Friend will be aware of the negative comments in the press and elsewhere about the appointment of Baroness Ashton, mainly because it is claimed that she is an inexperienced woman. Does my right hon. and learned Friend agree that there would not be such negative comments if the person in question were a man?
