Women in the House of Commons inquiry

Status: Closed Opened: 4 Aug 2016 Closed: 3 May 2017 1 report

Almost 100 years after the first woman was elected, there have only ever been as many women MPs as there are men sitting in the House of Commons today. Political parties must be held to account for reducing this democratic deficit in future, says the report by the Women and Equalities Committee.
