RIP Betty Boothroyd
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64786680
Quote:
The first female Speaker of the House of Commons Betty Boothroyd has died aged 93.
She served as Speaker from 1992 to 2000, before going on to become a baroness in the House of Lords from 2001.
The current Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle described her as "an inspirational woman" who was known for her "no-nonsense style".
She was the Labour MP for West Bromwich West from 1973 to 2000.
