HC Deb 24 April 1888 vol 325 c328
MR. T. E. ELLIS (Merionethshire)

asked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether he is aware that the majority of agricultural labourers in Wales live in the homesteads of the farmers who employ them; and, whether he is prepared to amend the Local Government (England and Wales) Electors Bill, so as to enfranchise and enable them to take their share in local government?

THE PRESIDENT (Mr. RITCHIE) (Tower Hamlets, St. George's)

I am not aware of the circumstance referred to by the hon. Gentleman in his first Question. I would rather reserve my answer to his second Question until we are engaged in the discussion on the Bill.
