It does seem a bit odd. I would have thought the people chosen to give evidence should be selected on the basis of whether they've got some relevant experience, knowledge, or insight into the subject matter rather then what age, sex, or shoe size they are.
Tut! Now why would you think that in this day and age, Ludwig. Far too sensible. ;o)
More watering down of experience.

Some people just don't get that it will take years for a closer balance and in some areas it simply wont be balanced - ever (both ways).

It has got to the point of ridiculous now.
As the figure has been rising gradually over the past few years then perhaps it will continue without the need for such a public push.
Yes Mammy, as more women stay in the work place and become experts it will naturally change (I hope). But you cant suddenly become an expert over night and for whatever reason rightly or wrongly not enough women over the past 40 years have been able to get on sufficiently to become these experts.

Nice Avatar YMB!
I agree of course, hopefully those obstacles will continue to fall away.
Has anyone studied how long the women who do actually get called as witnesses talk for? Perhaps although there are less in number the time spent "talking" is muucchhhh longer.
Gawd, we now have a Deputy leader , of The Imbecile Party.
Gullible has appointed a deputy. :))

Grilled ?
I prefer my women half baked.
But it's the boilers that seem available :-(
Lol @ Geezer. :)) Don't mention roasted. (^_*)

This stuff is embarrassing, not least for the women concerned and this has been palpable recently on the likes of Newsnight, where women have been used as makeweight on subjects for which they were obviously ill equipped.
There is plenty of diversity on the two main news channels, if they are out on the street seeking the public's opinion on certain matters, it is generally a black female, followed by an Asian and then a white person.
