The women’s movement, feminism, equal pay and #timesup will be among the subjects under discussion at a special Pembrokeshire Question Time event on April 18.

Celebrating the 100 year anniversary of female suffrage, the event at County Hall, Haverfordwest, will provide the opportunity for frank discussion of many current women’s issues.

There will also be an exhibition staged by Pembrokeshire Archives on the local suffrage movement, and the elections team will have information on the local election process.

The Question Time panel will consist of Bernadine Rees OBE, chair of the Hywel Dda Health Board; Sharron Lusher, principal of Pembrokeshire College; Clr. Pat Davies, cabinet member for housing and regulatory services; Bethany Roberts, chair of the Pembrokeshire Youth Assembly; and Sue Leonard, chief officer of PAVS.

Clr. Paul Harries, chairman of Pembrokeshire County Council, has agreed to chair the panel and act as Jonathan Dimbleby for the afternoon.

Guests include local students, members of local school councils and youth assemblies, and other organisations.

Members of the public are also welcome to participate by submitting questions by email to Clr. Tessa Hodgson, and are invited to watch the discussions from the public gallery.

The event is being organised by Cllr Tessa Hodgson, Pembrokeshire County Council’s cabinet member for social services.

She said: “This is an excellent opportunity to celebrate the centenary of women’s suffrage and discuss issues related to the women’s movement.

“I would encourage members of the public and our staff to visit County Hall on the day to listen to the debate, view the exhibition and to meet with the elections team.”

If you would like to submit a question to the panel, please email it to [email protected] by Friday, March 30.

The Pembrokeshire Question Time event will be held on Wednesday, April 18, at 2 pm, at County Hall in Haverfordwest (SA61 1TP) in the council chamber.
