Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (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

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for that contribution. She raises a very important point, which she also raised as a challenge to the Leader of the House. The House is starting to consider this important issue, which will remain an issue for hon. Members, particularly after the next election when I think there will be an increased number of MPs with young families who will need to juggle family considerations and their work in the House. That is an issue for both women and young fathers.
