First World War (Commemoration)

Proceeding contribution from Ann McKechin (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 June 2014. It occurred during Debate on First World War (Commemoration).

My hon. Friend is making an eloquent and intelligent speech. The first world war was also a period of enormous political and social change; there were the rent strikes in Glasgow, in which tens of thousands of people participated. They led directly to the first rent restriction legislation in the whole of the Europe, which was passed in record time, in recognition of the work, led by women, for change in their own society.
