Sexism in the City and pay inequalities faced by women working in financial firms are to be investigated by the Treasury select committee of MPs as part of its attempt to prevent another financial crisis.

The committee, which includes just one woman, is calling for evidence on the role of women in the City and information about the proportion of women occupying senior positions in leading financial firms. Jill Treanor, The Guardian.

One woman on the committee to investigate sexism in the city just typical of the male culture that prevails in our government. It’s high time government stopped such ridiculous investigations into something everyone is aware happens and instead took actions to address the issue of sexism – not just in the city but in the Houses of Parliament themselves.
