Govt: Misogynistic dinosaurs in Parliament not party issue

Education Minister Michelle Donelan says there is a "minority of misogynistic dinosaurs" in the House of Commons and that it is not a single party issue.

She believes more needs to be done to "stamp" sexism in Parliament out because it is "damaging for democracy".
