West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin is set to continue her fight for constitutional reform in the Houses of Parliament.

Ms Baldwin has secured a slot in the ballot to bring forward a Private Members’ Bill.

Previously, she has campaigned twice in the House of Commons, advocating for daughters to be allowed to inherit hereditary peerages in the House of Lords.

A principle known as male-only primogeniture reserves an eighth of the seats in the House of Lords exclusively for men, an issue addressed by the Crown in 2013.

Ms Baldwin said: "I have twice brought forward legislation to attempt to end constitutional sexism in the House of Lords but been thwarted by time.

"I pledged to do all I can to redress this historical imbalance and I am intending to use my place in the Private Members’ Bill ballot to continue this work.

"There is no place for sexism in any workplace and I’ve been hearing harrowing evidence as part of the Treasury Select Committee investigation into sexism in the companies operating in City of London.

"It is a stain on Parliament that sexism still exists in the House of Lords and I will continue to speak out until this issue is permanently resolved."
