§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, in view of the fact that a large number of persons in Scotland who vote in Parliamentary and county council elections are disqualified to vote for school board candidates by reason of their rentals being less than £4, upwards of 3,000 crofters and fishermen out of 3,160 being thus disqualified in the Island of Lewis alone, will he say whether, having regard to his recent promise, he has yet been able to consider the School Board Electorate (Scotland) Bill now before the House, and if he is prepared to support it.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURWe do not propose to sanction any change in the law at present.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI have not seen it.
