Her husband is, of course, M Walter Runciman, M.P., for West Swansea, a former Financial Secretary to the Treasury, President of the Board of Education, Board of Agriculture and Board of Trade in successive Liberal Governments.
There are three cases in the pre- sent Parliament where the husband sits in the House of Lords and the wife in the Commons-the cases of Lord and Lady Astor, Lord and Lady Iveagh, and the Duke and Duchess of Atholl. No doubt as times goes on the unique position of Mr. and Mrs. Runciman will lose its novelty, and there will be similar cases. In the last ten years several attempts have been made by hus- hands and wives to enter the House of Commons and sit at the same time, but until now these efforts have not been successful.
