Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Topical debate on International Women's Day.
International Women's Day
While celebrating the work of women in politics, will the right hon. and learned Lady also accept that Conservative organisations such as the Primrose League in the 19th century provided the initial spur to women's suffrage? By 1905 that organisation had as many as 1.5 million members. They went out into the political arena and did all the hard work on the ground that was needed for women, and they were Conservatives.
