Not sure what you mean by 'admitting'. What I said was I'd have rather we had a candidate in place several years ago.

If an all women's shortlist is imposed I think I'll abstain from the selection procedure. I believe in meritocracy. Leaving candidates out of the selection based on their sex and not their ability is completely wrong.
