§ MR. O'GRADYI beg to ask the Prime Minister whether, whilst visiting Leeds, he declined to receive a deputation from the National Woman Suffrage Societies, representing many working women, who have always adopted constitutional methods in their reform movements, the bona fides of which deputation was guaranteed by the presence on the deputation of the hon. Members for Central and South Leeds and five leaders of local Liberalism; and whether he is now prepared to reconsider his refusal to see the deputation.
§ THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. ASQUITH,) Fifeshire, E.I was unable to see the deputation in question during my visit to Leeds, and I see no advantage at present in receiving any more deputations on this subject.
