Are UK parties attracting female candidates?
Before the UK general election was announced, there were 191 female MPs, which was less than a third of the total number. So could that change after 8 June?
Conservative Maria Miller, SNP Kirsty Blackman and Liberal Democrat Daisy Cooper discuss what their respective parties have been doing to promote parity between men and women - no-one from Labour was free to join in.
The discussion began with Maria Miller who is confident that there will be a huge change.
