HC Deb 03 February 1893 vol 8 c392
MR. WEBSTER (St. Pancras, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the home Department if he would inform the House, prior to the Debate on the North and South Meath Election Petitions, the number of electors who voted as illiterates at the late General Election ill those constituencies?

MR. ASQUITH

I am endeavouring to obtain the information the hon. Member desires, and have telegraphed to Dublin for the figures. Up to the present I have received no reply. If I do receive one I will communicate with him.
