Govt: All-women shortlists not the answer to Commons sexism

  • 2 years ago
Education Minister Michelle Donelan rebuffs suggestions that an all-women shortlist should be submitted for the race to replace Neil Parish as the Conservative candidate for the Tiverton and Honiton by-election. She calls them "demeaning", arguing that a woman can get there "on her own merit" and that a single-sex shortlist "misses the point". Report by Edwardst.
