Although we find ourselves being women in public life in a very different way to you, we share an understanding of the abuse and intimidation which is now so often used as a means of disparaging women in public office from getting on with our very important work.

The letter went on to pledge that the MPs will do what they can to "ensure that our press accept your right to privacy and show respect and that their stories reflect the truth."
