Motion detail
“This Assembly notes that 2018 marks 100 years since some women secured the right to vote for the first time in the UK. The Representation of the People Act was passed on 6 February 1918 giving women the vote provided they were aged over 30 and either they, or their husband, met a property qualification. This year is also the 90th anniversary of women gaining equal voting rights to men by the Equal Franchise Act.
The Assembly welcomes the various campaigns and events to celebrate this anniversary and to promote further gender equality; including the Mayor’s campaign #BehindEveryGreatCity that will champion the achievements and contributions of women, from all walks of life, to London.”
