Countless statues commemorating historical figures dot the streets of London.

But there is a conspicuous absence from the capital's bronze, marble and stone population, City decision-makers have heard. Aside from a "few old queens," there are very few monuments to women in the city, common councilman Edward Lord says.

He proposed to the City of London's Court of Common Council last night that statues of historic female figureheads from the City of London's history be erected in the Square Mile.

He noted the irony that the deciding votes would be cast by a council sitting at London's Guildhall that is in 2018 four-fifths male.

Cllr Lord proposed the statues should be commissioned to mark this year's suffragette centenary, marking 100 years since the movement won women their right to vote.

He noted research this year showed there were more "Steves" and "Davids" leading FTSE 100 companies than there were women or ethnic minorities at the helm.

"One questions whether if the suffragettes with us still today, whether they would be satisfied of the outcomes since they led 100 years ago," Cllr Lord said.

"I suspect they would not."

He proposed the Corporation pay for statues of pioneering political women from its past.

"Those were women who did not find it easy to find it easy to get to the roles they had," he said.

Fifty-three departing members of the House of Commons Service signed contracts compelling them not to reveal information about the Commons.

So-called "non-disclosure agreements" (NDAs) can be used to silence victims of bullying or harassment.

A House spokesman said the clauses were used "to resolve employment disputes under certain circumstances".
