§ MR. SCHREIBERsaid, he would beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, with reference to his Answer of the 18th of February upon the same subject, When he will state what recommendations he is; prepared to make for the enfranchisement of "compound-householders in parishes not within existing borough boundaries, but which might be wholly or in part added to boroughs," and of whom the Boundary Commissioners report that "they will be precluded from qualifying as voters in the year 1869, unless some special provision is made for their protection?" He had understood the right hon. Gentleman on a former occasion to admit the importance of this question, and to state that it had not escaped the attention of the Government; but, finding no reference to the I matter in the Boundary Bill as laid upon the table, he felt it right to ask this question. ["Order!"]
§ MR. DISRAELISir, the observations; of the hon. Gentleman are quite justified. It was considered expedient that the remedy required should not be included in the Boundary Bill as laid upon the table; but that, when the Measure had gone through Committee, I should, if necessary, propose a clause upon the subject. Of course, it is quite possible that the matter may have previously received the attention of the Committee upon the Bill.
