When heavily pregnant minister Jo Swinson stood during Prime Ministers questions in the commons it caused something of a social media comment frenzy. Westminster commentators on Twitter said it was outrageous that MPs had not offered Ms Swinson a seat.

According to the Daily Mail, a source close to Ms Swinson said the suggestion that she was unable to "fend for herself" was "quite sexist" however her colleague, Business Secretary, Vince Cable disagrees and says that"the old tradition of men offering seats to women has long gone but I think if somebody is heavily pregnant or is disabled, basic decency suggests you should give them preference."
