§ SIR GEORGE DOUGHTYTo ask the Prime Minister whether, in view of the disturbance caused by women within the precincts of this House and their subsequent imprisonment, he will state whether it is the intention of the Government to deal with the question of granting votes to women either in the present or the next session.
(Answered by Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman.): I do not see the connection between the disturbance referred to and the intentions of the Government, which are not likely to be affected by incidents of the kind. It would be impossible to deal with this important question this session, nor am I able to say anything at present as to the business for next session.
