Politics
Baroness Hayman - Lord Speaker 17 July 2006
When Helene Hayman was a young MP in the 1970s, she caused controversy by becoming the first woman to breast feed her baby at Westminster and by kicking off her shoes during a hot day in the Commons.

Earlier this month, she became the first peer to take the office of Lord Speaker in the House of Lords. Baroness Hayman takes time out of her busy schedule to be Jenni's guest and talks about her new role in the Lords and her life in politics.
