Proposed amendments leave out "person" and insert "woman"
Proposed amendments leave out "person" and insert "woman"
@RachelReevesMP talks about If we are to encourage women from all backgrounds to become MPs and ministers - 102 years after women won the right to stand for parliament, there are still just 220 female MPs compared with 430 men
The first woman MP to have a baby while serving in parliament in 1976. She had to come into parliament 10 days after giving birth to vote.
Women, women, women.... the speech is all about women. There should be no reason to erase women from the #MOMABill @RachelReevesMP
@ToniaAntoniazzi highlights the use of "women", "she" and "her" in other legislation about maternity - it is all about women. This bill should use the word.
