Mims Davies MP for East Grinstead, Uckfield and the villages said:
"I am delighted to serve in the Shadow Cabinet in the interim period as Shadow Minister for Women & Equalities.
I focussed on women’s employment at DWP, appointed the 1st Cross Government DWP Menopause Champion, led on GEO at DWP and stood up for women’s sports to be properly covered and reported on as the Sports Minister.
It’s not new to me to stand up for women’s equality, and as a mother of 2 girls, I know how important this role is.
I will hold the new Government to account and work closely with my Party to stand up to be accounted on all equality matters. We need our country to work for women & all members of our communities. So we all feel happy, safe and able to reach our full potential."
