HC Deb 12 July 1898 vol 61 cc659-60
SIR J. COLOMB (Great Yarmouth)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what steps have been taken to make up the Local Government Supplement provided for under section 1, sub-section 2, Registration (Ireland) Act, and to notify duly qualified peers and women that they are entitled to be so registered as Local Government electors?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

Article 7 of the Order in Council, dated 23rd May, 1898, and made under the Registration (Ireland) Act, 1898, provided that clerks of unions were to serve additional requisitions for the purpose mentioned in the Question. I presume this requirement has been complied with.
