DescriptionHe agrres with Larmor, following a letter and meeting, that they should not risk a deputation to [Herbert Albert Laurens] Fisher. Ridgeway has arranged for a small executive committee to meet in his rooms. One clause in the draft Bill excited Council, with the Vice-Chancellor directed to write to Fisher. Keynes had not taken down the exact wording, and Ridgeway notes actions to see the letter. He would like a meeting with Larmor and [John Frederick Peel] Rawlinson, to talk over the situation, including their 'vital objects' in getting Conservative representation on the Commission and securing the right of veto for the Senate, which he states 'would keep the women out'. He cites Headlam's article on the Report.
