§ LORD AVEBURYMy Lords, I beg leave to introduce a Bill to amend the 617 law so that husbands of women who are British nationals or who are settled in the United Kingdom and Islands should have the same rights as to nationality and settlement as the wives of men who are British nationals or who are so settled. I beg to move that this Bill be now read a first time.
Moved, That the Bill be now read 1a. —(Lord Avebury.)
