"No country can realise its potential unless women in that country can realise their potential."

So said Communities Minister Shahid Malik, speaking at the national launch in London on 20 October 2009. Going on to talk about the under-representation of women in the House of Commons, Shahid said:

"If we had 324 women in Parliament, which is the number we would need in order to be representative, I sincerely believe that the quality of debate would be more mature and policy outcomes better."
