Loudon, Oct. 2S. In the House of Commons. Major 1 Graeme moved an amendment to the Sex Disqualification Removal Bni with a view to permitting women to sit in the House of Lords.

Mr. Pollock declined to accept an amendment removing all disabilities against women entering the Civil Service. He said this was impossible in the Overseas Civil Service, especially in India. The amendment was defeated

A new clause was inserted permitting women to become solicitors after serving articles for three years and possessing the existing qualifications for men.—Aus - N.Z, Cable Assn.
