§ MR. S. SMITH (Flintshire)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he is aware that there are over 30 Nonconformists in Flintshire legally qualified to hold the Commission of the Peace; and why none of those are appointed, seeing that two-thirds of the population of the county are Nonconformists?
§ THE SECRETARY of STATE (Mr. Matthews) (Birmingham, E.)I am not aware that the facts are as suggested by the hon. Gentleman. The 1028 information I have is to the contrary effect, as I have already twice stated to the House.
