The Committee - which has only one female MP among its 14 members - said that less than 2% of executives in financial firms are women.That tells you all you need to know, doesn't it?
The MPs said the lack of diversity in the boardroom "may have...made effective challenge and scrutiny of executive decisions less effective".And it may not, of course, as they admit themselves:
"We are not saying that had women been in charge the crisis wouldn't have happened, but we are highlighting the fact that women are poorly represented in the financial sector, particularly at board level," said the Committee's chairman, John McFall.Almost as poorly represented as they are on your committee, Johnny.
But then, this is, of course, a Harriet Harperson-designed committee, and she's the one pulling the strings.
So despite the fact that there's only one woman, there's still a distinct lack of testicles.
