Many are already doing so.</p><p>The Government’s Suffrage Centenary Fund is supporting a number of projects that aim to increase women’s participation in politics, and earlier this year we announced funding for disabled candidates to meet the costs of campaigning, primarily for the forthcoming English local elections in 2019.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 13/11/2018 15:03:07 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
