英国前众议院议长贝蒂·布思罗伊德在最后演讲中批评首相向捐赠者授予爵位。 Former UK Speaker of the House Betty Boothroyd's final speech criticises PMs for awarding peerages to donors.
前下议院议长贝蒂·布思罗伊德(Betty Boothroyd)原本打算利用她在上议院的最后一次演讲来批评首相们向朋友或那些为执政党提供资金的拥有“丰厚银行账户”的人授予过多的贵族爵位。 Betty Boothroyd, the former Speaker of the House of Commons, had intended to use her final speech in the Lords to criticise prime ministers for granting too many peerages to friends or those with "fat bank accounts" who had bankrolled the party in power. 去年二月去世的布思罗伊德夫人已同意最终草案，她的前秘书尼古拉斯·贝文爵士现已安排出版。 Lady Boothroyd, who died last February, had agreed the final draft and her former secretary, Sir Nicholas Bevan, has now arranged for it to be published.
