Proceeding contribution from Baroness Laing of Elderslie (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
In this debate a year ago, the right hon. and learned Lady agreed with me that if we are to encourage more women to enter the House, which is what we all want, it is essential to address the financial background of how a Member of Parliament can conduct their life, office and work, and the practicalities of how women who are also mothers can combine the jobs of mother and MP. Will she undertake to stand up for women and ensure it is possible for them to be both mothers and Members of Parliament, as she did a year ago?
