Gordon Brown has said it is "completely unacceptable" that some top British firms have all-male boards.
The Prime Minister said "serious action" may be needed to tackle the issue as he met leading female executives at a Downing Street breakfast meeting on International Women's Day.
"When more than half of graduates are women, it is completely unacceptable that some of our top 100 public companies have not a single woman on their boards, and that none at all have a majority of women on their board," he said.
He went on: "...if we do not see a dramatic change in the composition of company boards in the future, we will need to consider taking more serious action to ensure companies recruit from the diverse pool of exceptional talent we have in the UK."
