HC Deb 19 July 1897 vol 51 c414
MR. GERALD LODER (Brighton)

I beg to ask the Attorney General whether those persons whose names are on the Parliamentary Register in respect of what is called the Service Franchise are entitled to vote at the election for the London School Board; and whether is aware that some returning officers have allowed such votes while others have not?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

As the law at present stands, under the orders framed by the Education Department, am of opinion that persons whose only qualification is the Service Franchise are not entitled to vote at the election for the London School Board.
