A fascinating insight into United Kingdom politics is expected when the first female speaker of the House of Commons, Betty Boothroyd, addresses the Isle of Man Sporting and Dining Club this evening.
Lady Boothroyd, who served as speaker of the House for eight years until her retirement in 2000, will speak at the HSBC sponsored event at the Mount Murray Hotel.
