Rejected petition A memorial for Nancy Astor
More details
Nancy Astor was the first woman to sit in the House of Commons. Despite this pioneering achievement, there is no prominent memorial to her in Westminster. This petition requests that the bust of her, presently located in the private apartment of the Speaker of the House of Commons, be moved to a more prominent location, to celebrate her life.
