Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle signs a pledge to actively support staff going through the menopause.

The Menopause Workplace Pledge, launched by the Wellbeing of Women charity, has been signed by more than 600 organisations including the civil service, Tesco's and John Lewis.

Sir Lindsay has said he hopes making small adjustments could make life easier for those working in Parliament. This could include holding menopause awareness events and allowing staff to request breathable uniforms. She said menopausal women working in Parliament would now know there was "a system in place to look after them... it is awesome".
