Gender Balance on Corporate Boards

Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 January 2013. It occurred during Debate on Gender Balance on Corporate Boards.

I hope the Minister will agree that the message needs to come from the Government themselves. I had many discussions with previous Prime Ministers about the diversity of their trade delegations to countries

such as India. I understand why the Minister wants to go down the voluntary approach route, but will he give the House an undertaking that the Government will also send out a very clear message in the appointments they make to non-government departments and in the delegations that he and other Ministers lead by ensuring that they are representative of our country: more ethnic minority people, more women?
