§ MR. HOBHOUSE (Somerset, E.)asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether, under the provisions of the new Police Force Enfranchisement Act, police constables will be entitled to be placed on the Register this year?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER) (Isle of Wight)If the Question of the hon. Member refers to the Register which came in force on the 1st of January, 1887, police-constables are not entitled now to be placed upon the Register unless their names are already there. If their names are already upon the Register they will be entitled to vote. They will, in my opinion, be entitled to be placed upon the Register which will be the subject of revision in the autumn of this year, and which comes into force in the year 1888.
