WOMEN IN BRITAIN

STAND MADE IN HOUSE OF COMMONS ON ISSUE OF COMPENSATION FOR WAR INJURY. QUESTION OF EQUAL PAY INVOLVED. LONDON, November 25. The women of Great Britain made the headlines today. In the House of Commons Mrs H. B. Tate (Conservative) and Dr Edith Summerskill (Labour) put the case for giving women injured in the war the same compensation as men. When a vote was taken, 95 members supported the women members (the largest vote yet recorded against the Government) and 289 the Government. The position taken, by the Government was stated by Mr Attlee, Deputy Prime Minister, who said the apparently simple issue of compensation for war injury raised the very much larger issue of equal payment for members of both sexes. A Select Committee was to report on this latter, question and the House would debate the report.
