Proceeding contribution from Nadine Dorries (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 December 2010. It occurred during Backbench debate on Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.
Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority
The Chamber is largely full of men today and women are represented only in small number, so I ask that this comment is not regarded as sexist. The IPSA regulations say that mothers with teenage children are not allowed to have their children to stay with them in their overnight accommodation in London. When a single mother is telephoned from the school or university and told that their child is sick and to collect them and take them home, what are they supposed to do? Mothers are not allowed to have their children with them, yet we have to be here to carry out our duties. Does my hon. Friend agree that the IPSA regulations are particularly difficult for women?
