§ 32. Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the frequent difficulty and delay in filling diplomatic vacancies abroad, the Government will consider the suggestion of the appointment of capable women to fill certain of these important posts?

§ Sir H. BRITTAINDoes not the right hon. Gentleman consider that the right kind of women would be frequently more effective than old women of the wrong sex who so often misrepresent us abroad?
