| Message | Rt Hon Marcus Dransfield MP, Prime Minister of Hutori Mr Speaker, there are deep inequalities in Hutori society that need to be addressed. Today less than 40% of Hutori MPs are female, and less than 20% of top lawyers are women! This legislation proposes to address this inequality to ensure that our professions are representative of society as a whole. |
