HC Deb 09 August 1899 vol 76 c264
MR. ELLIS J. GRIFFITH (Anglesey)

I beg to ask Mr. Solicitor-General whether a member of a firm of solicitors engaged in Parliamentary practice is eligible for membership of this House?

THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL (Sir R. B. FINLAY,) Inverness Burghs

Yes, Sir, he is eligible; but if after election he continue to engage in Parliamentary practice a question of Parliamentary usage might arise for the decision of the authorities of the House.
