HC Deb 11 November 1926 vol 199 c1252
48. Miss WILKINSON

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that the present Government is entering upon its third year of office, he can now make any statement as to when he proposes to take steps to extend the franchise to women under 30 years of age?

45. Captain WEDGWOOD BENN

asked the Prime Minister what steps the Government intend to take to carry out their pledge in the matter of equal political rights for men and women?

Commander EYRES MONSELL

My right hon. Friend regrets that he is not yet in a position to make any statement.

Miss WILKINSON

May I ask whether, in view of the shortness of the life left to His Majesty's Government, we can have some idea when this question will be answered?

Viscountess ASTOR

May I ask—

Mr. SPEAKER

That is based on an hypothesis.
