Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 18 March 1965.
I am grateful to my hon. Friend, because his excellent suggestion could avoid the worst threat of all which was advanced by Strephon:
You shall sit, if he sees reason,
Through the grouse and salmon season:…
Peers shall teem in Christendom,
And a Duke's exalted station
Be attainable by Com-Petitive Examination!
