No Job for a Lady

Jean Price MP is new to the House of Commons and not yet familiar with its ways – she's also desperate to get home in reasonable time for her husband's birthday.

Jean feels that the time has come for her to make her first speech in the house. She also feels the pressure to make it a good one – but could that be a big mistake?

Jean is lucky enough to get a rare opportunity of a Bill before the house – but which should she present? Will compulsory créches prove too controversial; or just too boring?

When tipped off about nuclear waste apparently being transported through her constituency, Jean hopes to learn the truth: first she must surmount the confusing rules and precedents of asking a Parliamentary question!

Jean attempts to get more into the swing of parliament by joining a couple of committees. She's also got to contend with Sir Godfrey stealing her thunder, and double-crossings when it backfires!

Jean gets in a muddle over her Parliamentary manners, privilege and procedure. Despite the possibly great repercussions, she's reluctant to apologise for her indiscretions.
