Proceeding contribution from Rachel Reeves (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 February 2020. It occurred during Points of order proceeding on Points of Order.
Points of Order
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. One hundred years ago today, a woman made a speech in this Chamber for the first time—[Hon. Members: “Hear, hear.”] While I do not agree with everything that Nancy Astor said or did, her maiden speech on the dangers and perils of alcohol paved the way for many more of us to speak in this House. I wonder whether you had heard of any way to celebrate that centenary.
