Motion Text

That this House recognises on International Women's Daythe achievements of women throughout the world in parliaments and politics; welcomes the increasing numbers of women parliamentarians and politicians; notes, however, with concern the continuing under-representation of women in the majority of legislatures; and commends the work of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association UK Branch with Commonwealth and non-Commonwealth parliaments to empower women parliamentarians to represent effectively women's interests.
