HC Deb 04 July 1893 vol 14 c804
MR. T. M. HEALY (Louth, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether it was the duty of the clerks of Unions, in making out lists of persons entitled to vote at Parliamentary elections, to insert the names of persons entitled by virtue of successive occupation; and, if so, whether instructions should be given by the Local Government Board to clerks of Unions to insert the names of such persons?

MR. J. MORLEY

The comparison of the Irish precept with the English precept was now being made with a view to their uniformity as far as possible. The precept, he understood, would deal with the questions raised by the hon. and learned Member.

MR. T. M. HEALY

As this is urgent, I presume prompt steps will be taken?

MR. J. MORLEY

We will do the best we can.
