HC Deb 29 November 1926 vol 200 c818
50. Sir ROBERT NEWMAN

asked the Prime Minister when the conference of all parties to consider the question of the equal Parliamentary franchise between men and women will be called?

The PRIME MINISTER

I cannot at present add anything to what I have already said on this subject.

Captain WEDGWOOD BENN

Can the Prime Minister say whether the pledge to equalise the franchise is still held by the Government?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have nothing to add to the answer.

Captain BENN

May we assume then that the Government are in some doubt as to whether they will be able to fulfil their pledge?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have nothing to add.
