45. Miss Wardasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the broad cast of Mr. Menzies and his appreciation of the part being played by women in the war effort, he will reconsider the various requests put forward by the women Members of this House which have been rejected?
§ The Lord Privy Seal (Mr. Attlee)The requests to which my hon. Friend refers concern a number of Departments. If it is felt that circumstances have so changed that any particular matter should be reconsidered, perhaps hon. Members would be good enough to address their representations to the Minister concerned.
Miss WardIs my right hon. Friend aware that the general policy regarding this essential work by women Members has been rejected, and can he give an answer on the general policy and not on Departmental policy?
§ Mr. AttleePerhaps the hon. Lady will put that question down. She asked a Question about the various requests.
