MPs will vote today on whether to devolve the power to create 50-50 gender quotas.
The shadow Scottish Secretary Ian Murray has tabled an amendment to the Scotland Bill - which outlines the powers to be transferred to Scotland post-Referendum - which would allow Holyrood to enforce a gender balance. At the moment, 35% of MSPs are female.
The move is supported by the leaders of all parties in Holyrood, except the Conservatives.
Only 48 out of 128 MSPs are women, as Talat Yaqoob from the Woman 50:50 campaign explains:
