Hot-tempered, silver-haired Commander Oliver Stillingfleet Locker-Lampson, Britain’s handsomest Parliamentary capriphile, has been quiet since the failure of his “the-goat-is-the-poor-man’s-cow” campaign last year. But last week the barrel-chested Tory M.P. was knee deep in a new crusade: overalls for ecdysiasts.
The Commander’s wrath had been stirred by his discovery that there is a shortage of women factory workers and a surplus of strip-teasers. Commander Locker-Lampson heatedly bared the facts on the floor of the House of Commons. Cried he: young women should be wearing overalls to work instead of stripping undies to tease. No British stripper, said “Locker,” who is 64, should be under 50.
