HC Deb 02 March 1886 vol 302 c1766
CAPTAIN M'CALMONT

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he can have a Return furnished of the number of illiterate voters who recorded their votes in the various constituencies in Ireland which were contested at the recent General Election?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. JOHN MORLEY)

A Return is being prepared for the House of Lords which gives the information referred to by the hon. and gallant Member; and if he will move for the same Return, there will, of course, be no objection to his having it.

MR. T. M. HEALY

gave Notice that he would ask to have added how the illiterate voters voted. He could say that almost all of them in the North of Ireland voted for the Orange candidates. ["Order!"]
