HOUSEKEEPING FUNDS
AND RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN. QUESTION IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.40 a.m.) LONDON, November 3. > Dr. Edith Summerskill asked the At-torfiey-General (Sir D. Somerville) in the House of Commons, whether he would consider’amending the Married Women’s Property Act in order that a wife who exercises thrift through savings from housekeeping may not be penalised, and her home work given monetary recognition. Sir D. .Somerville replied that a husband and wife were free to make any arrangement in regard to money or other property. The balance of money given by one to the other for a special purpose, and not used for that purpose, belongs, in the absence of a special arrangement and according to ordinary principles, to the '-giver. The Government could not, in the present circumstances, consider legislation of this kind.
