[Croft's Divorce Bill [Lords.]
Lunacy Act (MRS. Emily Deacon, Barnsbury).
Hon. Edward Wood: I beg to move, after the word "Letters" ["Doctor of Letters"], to insert the words Emily Penrose, O.B.E., Master of Arts, Principal of Somerville College. Those who were able to take part in the Committee discussion upstairs will remember that it was decided to add the name of a woman to the Commissioners in each case, and also a man who would be able to look after the interests of the staff...
Sir Henry Jones: ...paid benefit; and whether, under the circumstances, he will issue instructions that benefit be paid to those women workers who hitherto have received no benefit; (2), whether he is aware that Miss Emily Elizabeth Owen, of Ty Newydd, Penrhyndendraeth, an insured person thrown out of work form the Penrhyndendraeth powder factory owing to the existing industrial conditions, was refused...
Mr William Thorne: 21. asked the Minister of Health whether he has received a report from one of his inspectors in connection with the Birmingham Corporation's proposals for the slum-clearance area in Emily Street; and if he can state whether the property owners raised any objections to the corporation's proposals?
Sir Smedley Crooke: 23. asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that many of the tenants affected by the Birmingham Corporation's scheme of slum clearance in Emily Street are desirous of staying in their present houses; and whether it is the intention of the Government that the owners of well-kept property in that area shall have the same treatment as is to be shown in respect to property which has been...
Mr William Thorne: 74. asked the Postmaster-General whether he intends making any recognition to Mrs. Emily Coleman, sub-postmistress at Ford End post office, for her courageous conduct in successfully resisting and securing the arrest of a man who entered the post office and demanded money with menaces?
Sir Smedley Crooke: asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the methods adopted in some cases by the Birmingham Estates Department by which some landlords of property in the Emily Street area are rendered destitute owing to the local department's interpretation of the Housing Act; and whether he will cause inquiries to be made in such cases of hardship so as to obtain equitable...
Mr Charles Brown: I remember the stories of the Boer War, and of the horrors of the concentration camps. I remember Miss Emily Hobhouse going up and down the country pointing out the horrors of those camps. Does the hon. Member consider that those camps represented a gentlemanly method of warfare?
Mr Maurice Petherick: ...in the Services and elsewhere. For those reasons we have been absent from the House, and I think that is one of the explanations why, as the hon. Member for Seaham said in one of his "Sharp little Emily" moments, Conservative Members are now coming out of their holes. Probably one of the reasons the hon. Member for Seaham did not very much like this recrudescence of activity apparent in...
Violet Emily Mildred Bathurst, commonly called Lady Apsley, for the Borough of Bristol (Central Division).
Captain Albert Blackburn: ...desire for world unity which is there in Soviet Russia, in the United States and all over India and China, just as it is in our hearts, and bring that to fruition. I mean the last words written by Emily Bronte: There is not room for death,Nor Atom that His might could render void.Thou, Thou art being and breath.And what Thou art can never be destroyed.
Viscountess Joan Davidson: ...advantage of the advances which have been made in veterinary surgery, for which they themselves are mainly responsible. In a very delightful book, which many hon. Members may have read—Lady Emily Lutyens's book, "A Blessed Girl"—there is a description of Lady Anne, the wife of Wilfred Blunt. She was the granddaughter of Lord Byron by his daughter, Ada, who married Lord Lovelace. She...
Mr Denzil Freeth: ...Schmidt's assurance to be enough, at the passage in her letter of 20th May in which she said: In considering the matter we had to take into account the previous history, from which it is clear that Emilie Schmidt really wants to settle hare and that if she came she would have no intention of returning to Russia. Whether upon the expiration of her temporary visa Fraulein Schmidt intends to...
Sir Raymond Gower: ...Mr. and Mrs. C. Dodd, live in Barry at 294 Barry Road, and they are elderly people. They are retirement pensioners and live modestly in a council dwelling at that address. Mr. Dodd's sister, a Mrs. Emily Barrett, died intestate on 21st March, 1950, at 17 Sidney Road, Harrow, Middlesex. Prior to her death, Mrs. Barrett had been looked after by Mr. and Mrs. Evans, who were service tenants,...

Mr Laurie Pavitt: ..., working mostly in mental nursing, seem to have been left out of the Bill. From time to time I have claimed to share the views of the suffragettes on many issues, and, all these years after Emily Pankhurst, I think that women still do not get a square deal in the Health Service. In this case, however, I don my other hat and try to do my best for the male section of the profession. This...
Mr John Nott: ...no understanding of economics at all. I intercepted in the Treasury the other day a document on the way to the Chancellor and I was interested to know what it was. It was a book on etiquette by Emily Post, the definitive book on how to behave. A marked page on language was headed " Phrases Avoided in Good Society." It said: It is difficult to understand why well-bred people avoid certain...
Mr John Major: ...closures sensitively I should put on record the experience in my constituency in Cambridgeshire. The education committee, and particularly the chairman, John Horrell, and the vice-chairman, Mrs. Emily Blatch, have handled most sensitively the cases in which there has been the possibility of a school closure—against great cash difficulties, because of the rate support grant.
Mr Tim Rathbone: ...more readily understood by the population outside the House than that offered by the great names of successful women such as Elizabeth Garrett Anderson or more recently, Annis Gillie in medicine, Emily Davies in education, Mrs. Justice Lane in the law, Ann Goodwin in the trade unions and Margaret Bonfield, the first British woman Cabinet Minister. That brings us to the present day and my...
