Bernadette Devlin, 21, the Mid-Ulster Independent Unity Party Member of Parliament who won an election in Northern Ireland, is seen arriving at the House of Commons, St. Stephen's Gate entrance, in London, on April 22, 1969. Miss Devlin was delayed in Northern Ireland earlier when a Bomb-scare delayed her flight. On arrival in London, the youngest ever woman at parliament, went on a quick shopping trip to Chelsea and is seen smiling, in the new clothes she just bought, before going into the House to make her maiden speech.
