Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 January 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Parliamentary Representation.
Parliamentary Representation
I want to add some statistics to those that my hon. Friend has given. In Wales, in 2001, when all-women shortlists legally had to be suspended, the Labour party had to select 10 candidates for seats in which the sitting Member of Parliament was retiring. In every single case, it selected a man. Does not that highlight the problem of what happens if there is not an all-women shortlist?
