§ MR. HENRY HOBHOUSE (Somerset, E.)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he proposes to take the Second Reading of the Registration of Electors (Amendment) Bill before Easter; and whether his intention still is to ask the House to refer a measure which contains important clauses, altering the Parliamentary franchise, to a Grand Committee?
§ MR. H. H. FOWLERMy answer to both questions is in the affirmative.
