Earlier, Tory MP Caroline Nokes pressed her point on female representation in policy-making, saying the UK went into the pandemic with record female employment - but to come out of it, will need a"functioning childcare system with additional assistance".

He is asked by Sir Bernard if having women around the table makes a difference to the big decisions. The PM replies:"It makes a huge difference. It may be a vaguely sexist thing to say, but it is very important."
