Boo hoo.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Yes but what if it was a woman MP from the highlands? Either they compress all the work into a few days or cut the work load down, and the legislative schedule.

How is that different to it being a male MP from the highlands?

There is none, but Jack Straw shortened the days to suit Women MP's from London so they could get back to their families, it meant that the MPs from further afield were left twiddling their thumbs at night, and a longer week as well. Not good for MPs from afar, regardless of sex.
