Speaker's conference invites your comments
Have your say on why women are under-represented in parliament
Have your say on why women are under-represented in parliament on a new online forum.
The Speaker's Conference on Parliamentary Representation has been asked to look in to why women, disabled people and people from ethnic minorities are under-represented in the House of Commons and to suggest ways in which the situation can be improved.
The forum was set up to allow comments on this, particularly from members of these under-represented communities. It will run until 23 June 2009 so be sure to visit soon to have your say. Comments will be used to shape the recommendations the Speaker's Conference makes to Parliament so your opinion really could make a difference.
