on a deadline so may have to post and run, sorry. There was a debate in Westminster about the impact of the spending cuts on women in Coventry yesterday.
(I have to express an interest in that Geoffrey Robinson's speech was based on my research)
The response from the Minister was very poor - and ended by saying 'I recognise the hon. Gentleman?s statistic on the proportion of lone parents who are women. However, the analysis missed out the fact that in some of the areas that we have protected, such as health, women particularly benefit. We are taking steps to improve the amount of breast screening for cancer'
not sure exactly how that helps..
