HC Deb 07 May 1894 vol 24 c483
MR. KILBRIDE

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can now state what action has been taken by the Local Government Board to secure the payment of the poor's rate by the Knight of Kerry within the statutable period, so that the Parliamentary electors of Valentia rated at £4 and under may not be again deprived this year of the franchise?

MR. J. MORLEY

The Local Government Board have pointed out to the Guardians that they should impress on their collectors the necessity of using every means in their power to collect rates within the statutory time, so as to prevent the disfranchisement of the tenants.
