Millicent Scott was born in Hammersmith and grew up in Shepherd’s Bush. She went to St Peter’s Primary School in Hammersmith and St Paul’s Girls’ School on Brook Green. She is a graduate of the University of London and University of Edinburgh.
Millicent decided to stand for election herself after many years working in the private, charity and education sectors including for the BBC, the Association for Citizenship Teaching, the European Parliament and the Financial Times.
I'm standing for Parliament because I want to change the way politics is done. I want to engage more people in decision-making and I want to see a parliament that's more representative of the people.
She has spent many years campaigning to engage a more representative and more diverse range of people in politics. Commenting on her selection she said:
This is a critical time for people in our constituency. In a democracy the power lies with the people. That’s why I want to see a wider range of people in politics. Through building a fairer society we can build a stronger economy and provide opportunity for every single one of us. I’m a Liberal Democrat because I believe in working together for a fairer society.
In her spare time Millicent is a keen cyclist, knitter and guerilla gardener.
