HC Deb 22 February 1898 vol 53 c1363
MR. J. G. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate, having regard to the fact that persons entitled to vote for parliamentary, county, and parish council elections in Scotland are disqualified to vote at School Board elections by reason of their rents being less than £4, can he state whether he proposes to bring in a Bill this Session dealing with this condition of the electorate?

THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. GRAHAM MURRAY,) Buteshire

As has previously been stated, this is a matter which will receive careful attention should it be found possible to propose any educational legislation. But, further than this, I can give no pledge on the subject.
