Speaking in the House of Commons, North East Herts MP Sir Oliver Heald paid tribute to the late Baroness Boothroyd describing her as “a wonderful Speaker” and he also explained how popular she was locally living so close to Royston.

Commenting, Oliver Heald said “Betty Boothroyd broke the glass ceiling by becoming the first female Speaker.  She was joyful and witty but could be suitably firm when required.  I was on very good personal terms with her and will miss her.”
