Nusrat Ghani, MP for Sussex Weald, Chairman of Ways & Means, and Madam Deputy Speaker, is delighted to be recognised by The House Magazine’s annual list of 100 women who have achieved excellence in the world of Westminster.
The House magazine is renowned as an impartial source of Westminster news and insight. Now in its seventh year, the 2026 Women in Westminster: The 100 highlights one hundred women who are making a significant and lasting impact across the Westminster landscape over the past year.
The 100 showcases a diverse array of women shaping politics and public life, ranging from parliamentarians, journalists and civil servants to campaigners and public affairs professionals, and celebrates those who are driving change, shaping the future and inspiring those around them.
The full 2026 list is available here and here.
Nusrat Ghani said: “I was proud to be selected as part of The House Magazine’s The 100 in 2022, 2023 and 2025 and it is an honour to be selected again this year, alongside so many inspirational women from across many industries. The 100 is not just about recognising individuals, but also celebrating the valuable contribution women are making and it has been exciting to see changes and opportunities for women opening up within my own lifetime. I am proud to have made history as Wealden’s first female MP, the first MP for Sussex Weald, the first female Muslim Minister to speak at the Commons despatch box and to be the first woman of colour to be elected Chairman of Ways and Means, Madam Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons. I hope that my journey will inspire women and girls from working class backgrounds like me to consider jobs they believed were out of reach for them.”
