Peer Banbury Attacks Women in Politics Stirring Debate
London Aug 25 Lord Banbury, once a steadfast Conservative, condemned Lord Astor’s bill to seat peeresses in the Lords as lowering the chamber’s dignity. He argued men and women differ and women cannot exercise in parliament the privilege of their sex. Dorothy Jewson and Lady Terrington dismissed the attack as ungallant and noted no dignity since women entered the Commons. Lady Astor declined comment.
