Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 February 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate and Backbench debate on Parliamentary Reform.

I thank the right hon. Lady for her intervention. It points to the fact that one of the things that we are battling is something of a macho culture. Many people have asked, ““If you're not ready to sit till midnight and 1 o'clock in the morning, why are you doing the job?”” That is not a good response.
