The Speaker informed the House of Baroness Boothroyd's death and expressed deep sadness at the loss of this groundbreaking parliamentarian. He highlighted her role as the first woman Speaker, a position she held from 1992 to 2000, noting that when she was elected in 1973 there were fewer than 30 women MPs and only 10% by the time she became Speaker in 1992. He praised her no-nonsense style, sense of humour, wit, and formidable nature.
