Conservative MP Ben Bradley is joining the Women and Equalities Select Committee, months after calling on the government to protect the rights of straight men.
The cross-party parliamentary group holds the government to account on equality law and policy, including the Equality Act 2010 and the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
Bradley announced on Monday (1 March) that he was becoming a committee member to “be part of the debate on some really important and pressing issues”.
He replaces 21-year-old Conservative MP Sara Britcliffe, becoming one of three men in the 11-member group – and the only straight man.
