Business leaders call for 'sexist' term 'chairman' to be scrapped in favour of gender neutral term

British Chambers of Commerce leads business coalition calling for change.

Organisations want Companies House to remove the current default reference to a company's chairman and replaced with gender neutral alternatives. Chairman, fireman and policeman come under fire for alleged gender inequality. MPs have pushed back at the idea, saying the 'priorities here are all mixed up'
