HOUSE OF LORDS.
TO ADMIT WOMEN MEMBERS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, March 2. The committee on privileges granted Lady Rhondda’s petition, claiming the right to sit in the House of Lords. The decision confers the privileges on 19 other baronesses. Received March 3, 7.35 p.m. London, March 2. Lady Rhondda’s petition has established the right of twenty-four peeresses to sit in the House of Lords.

The Crown did not oppose the claim.—United Service.
