Employment: Gender Equality

Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall Excerpts

Wednesday 26th November 2014 Lords Chamber

[A noble Lord]

Plumbing the depths.

[Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall (Lab)]

True. My Lords, first, would the Minister care to remind her noble friend Lord Tebbit that part of the reason why so many women need to work is that their mortgages and rents are so high? Will she also please address the question that was put to her by the noble Baroness, Lady Hussein-Ece, and tell us about ambassadors and high commissioners?

[Baroness Garden of Frognal]

I apologise; I thought that I had answered that. We now have 39 women who are leading UK missions overseas.
