Gloria De Piero, Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities, said:

 

“Lord Rennard will not apologise to his alleged sexual harassment victims, and Nick Clegg appears unwilling or unable to do anything about this at all.

 

"Now it seems likely that Lord Rennard, despite a party investigation finding evidence that he ‘violated’ women’s personal space, is likely to have a hand in future policy making, including on gender equality.

"What does this say about the Liberal Democrats under Nick Clegg, and what sort of message does this send out to women voters? Nick Clegg needs to start showing some leadership.”
