"Out of the 83 special political advisers – the influential civil servants known as spads – employed to support Theresa May and her ministers, only 23 (28%) are women, in a move former advisers said could see some matters dismissed as "women's issues"."
"More than half of government departments – including the Foreign Office, the Department for Exiting the European Union, and the Department for Health – have not hired a single woman to advise them, the annual list of spads shows. Ministers pick their advisers, and they are then approved by Downing Street."
"May's government has seen a fall in the ratio of female spads compared with David Cameron's, for which 38% of advisers in last year's list were female – 35 out of 92."
