Mr. Briant dwelt úpon injustice at present inflicted upon peeresses, remarking that women now sat in the House of Coop- mops, and they were still more required in the House of Lords, which was a dignified hat somewhat dull House, being a non- eleotive body, and out of touch with women. He hoped that the Government and its individual members pledged
to the principle of the Bill would give facilities for it.
It was deplorable, and indeed scandal- ous, that so few women ever appeared in the lists of honours. He wanted to give the Government the opportunity of plic ing at any rate in the House of Lords those women who by their services to the community deserved the honour.
Jack Jones, se a democrat, opposed the Bill declaring that nobody had the right to legislate without being elected.
The House, however, by 313 against 45 votes, anvi permission to introduce the Bill, which accordingly passed the first rending.
