Many of these boards have a good gender balance, given the nature of the professions involved. I would be reluctant to prescribe gender quotas in legislation. It is one thing to set a target and try to achieve it but when it is a position like this, particularly involving elected members, it may lead to a case where a person with fewer votes may get a place because he or she is of a particular gender. I understand the Deputy's point.
