CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE “RELUCTANT PEER.”—Viscount Stansgate (Mr Anthony Wedgwood Benn) photographed with his wife and son, Hillary, on the balcony of their home in Holland Park avenue, London, as they read telegrams of congratulation on his re-election as M.P. for South-east Bristol. Lord Stansgate, fighting to keep his seat in the House of Commons, scored a 13,044 majority over Mr Malcolm St. Clair, the Conservative candidate. The ruling is that Lord Stansgate is no longer a member of the House of Commons and cannot renounce the peerage inherited from his father.
