'David Cameron faced a business backlash last night after warning that companies could be forced to appoint more women to their boards.

The Prime Minister refused to rule out the introduction of so-called ‘golden skirt’ quotas if business leaders fail to meet government demands for more females in top jobs.

In his strongest threat yet to business leaders, Mr Cameron said the promotion of women needed to be ‘accelerated’. The Government has already set voluntary quotas for business leaders to more than double the number of women in boardrooms by 2015.'
