The Filibuster's wife who sat up all night at the house of Commons Marathon session: Diane Lever, the wife who missed her beauty sleep, was sitting at home yesterday laughing about her marathon sitting during the House of Commons filibuster - all 22 hours, 32 minutes of it. Mrs Lever, 27 year old wife of Labour M.P. Harold Lever and a millionairess twice-over, sat all night in the public gallery in the House of Commons, watching the longest Parliamentary session since 1952. "I did it for fun" she said at her home in Belgravia 'I was the only M.P.'s wife there, and it was well worth missing my beauty sleep". Mrs. Lever, an Iraqi, explained "Like an old Oriental wife, I go where my husband goes". Photo shows Fresh as a daisy Diane Lever the M.P.'s wife who sat up all night at the House of Commons during the marathon session of 22 1/2 hours.
