What is Question Time for Women’s History Month?
An online engagement event for students aged 14 to 18, to mark Women’s History Month.
We will be joined by Historian of UK Parliament, Dr Mari Takayanagi, who will share a brief history of women in the House of Lords. Using real parliamentary artefacts, Mari will reflect on the vital contributions that women, past and present, have made to the work of the House.
We will then be joined by The Lord Bishop of Gloucester (Bishop Rachel) and Baroness Boycott.
Both Peers represent groups that are unique to the House of Lords, Bishops and Crossbenchers, and both are also trailblazing women within their professions.
Both will share their experiences by answering your questions!

A simple list of all the MPs currently elected to Parliament is available on the public website:
https://members.parliament.uk/members/commons and you can search by name or by constituency. If you need to update your Member’s details, please email membersbiogs@parliament.uk
There is a much more detailed facility available on the Parliamentary intranet – the Members Names Information Service (MNIS) is a House database which lists Members details for the Commons and Lords.
It gives an overview of the current state of the parties, lists of current and previous members, includes biographical information, the register of Commons and of Lords Interests and includes a list of staff employed in the Lords. You should also contact MNIS to update your Member’s or Peer’s biography pages (email membersbiogs@parliament.uk)
You can also view the Library’s research paper Members 1979-2010, which lists all of the Members during that time period in alphabetical order, and includes brief biographical details.
Downloadable lists of contact details for MPs and Peers
Those on the intranet should also visit the Commons Library site and check out Dods People (just look in the A-Z listing) which gives a full bio of each MP and a profile of their constituency. It also allows you to export a CSV of the contact details of all MPs, MSPs, AMs, MLAs and Peers.
