Vicky Ford is the Conservative MP for Chelmsford. Our thanks to William for this. Ms Ford says she’s ‘chuffed’ to be elected. She doesn’t explain why she couldn’t be arsed to seek election to the committee in the first place.

Justice for Men & Boys 
Pity.
Discussion about school exam results focuses on boys not doing as well as girls. Yet feminists claim women do not earn as much as men. On average that is true, but as this blog frequently shows – in the same occupations women earn as much as men. That’s the law. The reason is that women do not earn as much as men – on average – is women do not seek the same career occupations as men. The origin of that lies in education and girls subject choices. If feminists wish to see women earning as much as men, on average then feminists need to ensure the education system encourages as many girls as boys to take science and computer courses.
Conservatives are more likely to recognise those facts, whereas Labour a less likely to. Labour are forever excusing teaching failings by insufficient funding. The reason Labour doesn’t hold teachers to account is that teachers are probably the UK’s largest voting block. At the recent TUC, a teacher was reported saying the primary education task was to ensure teachers are happy.
Rather than the committee’s ‘token women’ being a Conservative MP. It would have been better if the female MP was a Labour MP. She might have learnt something and become a role model for her sex.

What is so stupid about this whole “STEM” thing that it completely ignores the biological sciences. As far as I can see solely because if one included the biological sciences then the preponderance of young women in the medical and health sciences would balance the young men in the other sciences. And of course Doctors are the highest paid profession in the country according to the ONS so it would also drive a coach and horses through the idea young women don’t choose science based lucrative careers.
Of course women choosing such careers use this immense “capital” to work part-time and marry “up”. But that’s another issue.
