5 The limited number of minority parliamentarians in most parliaments also makes it difficult to exert influence. One solution put forward by some MPs is to set up formal or informal minority caucuses although partisan politics can make cross-party cooperation among minority parliamentarians difficult or impossible. More transparent procedures for the nomination of parliamentary committees and sensitization on diversity for all parliamentarians were among the suggestions made by the parliamentarians we interviewed. The IPU will continue to gather data and examples of good practice on minority representation. Our objective is to increase knowledge of minority representation in parliament and help place this issue firmly on the agenda of parliaments and political parties. We believe that this Forum can make an important contribution to bringing about more inclusive parliaments and look forward to integrating your conclusions and recommendations into our work. Thank you.
