HC Deb 20 February 1896 vol 37 cc686-7
MR. H. BROADHURST (Leicester)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, whether he will, at an early date, bring in a Measure to exempt from electoral disabilities such persons as may accept employment under the out-door labour test order of the Local Government Board?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. HENRY CHAPLIN,) Lincolnshire, Sleaford

I am afraid I cannot undertake to introduce a Bill upon this subject during the present Session, and in view of the fact that the Committee on Distress from Want of Employment is to be reappointed this Session, it would be better, I think, to wait till we have their views upon the subject.
