Women in Parliament

On Monday, February 6 2018 I was elected Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Women in Parliament, succeeding the brilliant Mims Davies MP.

The main purpose of this cross-party group of MPs is to increase the number of women in Parliament in all parties and to encourage women to get involved in public life. This is something I am absolutely passionate about and I hope my work through this group will contribute to the goal of achieving a 50:50 Parliament.

I will keep this section of my website updated with all the latest news and information from the APPG for Women in Parliament.
