The Hon. Mary Pickford, C.B.E., M.P.
You may, perhaps, wonder exactly what the title of this series means. The idea is this: until Parliament reassembles and the usual 'Week in Westminster' series starts again, it may be interesting and useful to you to know exactly how Local Government works and what it is specially meant to do. Miss Pickford, who will tell you this, is one of the new members of Parliament; she has had considerable experience of politics. She was formerly a Factory Inspector under the Home Office; she is a member of the Departmental Committee on Education in Relation to Industry and was technical adviser to Government Delegates at International Conferences in Geneva in 1927 and 1928. She received the C.B.E. in 1929.
