HC Deb 30 June 1843 vol 70 c483
Mr. Aglionby

asked the right hon. Baronet whether it was his intention to introduce during this Session any bill to render the enfranchisements of copyhold and customary lands compulsory.

Sir James Graham

said, that within the last fortnight, a measure had passed the House of Commons, and had been sent up to the House of Lords, giving greater facilities to voluntary enfranchisements of copyhold and customary estates. That experiment had not yet been tried, and until it had been, he was not prepared to propose a measure of a compulsory nature.
