• Women and Equalities: Women in Parliament: Centenary 15 Nov 2018

  I know my duty, and at 10 am this morning, it was to be in this House answering questions. [Interruption.]

• Women and Equalities: Women in Parliament: Centenary 15 Nov 2018

  The Government Equalities Office will be holding a conference to celebrate the centenary of the Parliament (Qualification of Women) Act 1918 on 21 November 2018. The GEO is also providing financial assistance to ensure that every MP in this House can invite a woman constituent into Parliament for the day, and I hope that all MPs will be doing that.
