Dennis Walters's maiden speech - seems to be referring to Anthony Eden addressing an open air political meeting on WC Must have been c.1955 [re Suez?] - during which evidently people had walked away! Find a reference?
Mr. Dennis Walters (Westbury)
In craving the customary indulgence of the House for a maiden speaker I am conscious that this occasion reminds me slightly of an experience which I had some nine years ago when I had to follow Sir Anthony Eden, as he then was, at an open air meeting on Wandsworth Common. The circumstances, as you can well imagine, Mr. Deputy-Speaker, were very different and the surroundings were very different, but there is a similarity in the massive departure of my audience.
