A poll published today suggests that almost 40 per cent of men in the UK think that there are enough women in Parliament.
In contrast, only 13 per cent of women quizzed for the survey said their sex was properly represented.
Tory backbencher Margot James said: “It shows that 40 per cent of men are wrong. In the spirit of benevolence it may be they think there are more women than there are.”
The survey carried out by Parliament found that about 40 per cent of men and 60 per cent of women thought that there were not enough women in Westminster.
