WOMEN IN POWER

Forty percent of the Socialist Group in the European Parliament are women. Eight out of 19 Labour MEPs are women - a slightly higher percentage. Gender equality is more advanced in the EPLP and the Socialist Group in the European Parliament than the House of Commons where Labour has 256 MPs, 94 of whom are women- that's just 27%.

I have recently published "Women in Power" - a guide to women MEPs. If you would like a copy please contact me.
