At their AGM on Tuesday Liberal Democrat MEPs elected their officers and the result was a UK first - a full complement of women! Leader Diana Wallis, Deputy Sarah Ludford, Whip Sharon Bowles and Treasurer Fiona Hall all take their posts with immediate effect.
The Secretariat is also currently being chaired by Liz Lynne - making a full set. Leader Diana Wallis MEP was quick to point out: "This was not deliberate, it just worked out that way".
(The Lib Dem MEPs are currently 7 women and 5 men).
