§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he is aware that thousands of ratepayers in Scotland, who are entitled to vote for the Parliamentary representative and at County and Parish Council elections, have no vote for School Board elections by-reason of their rentals being less than £4; will he consider the advisability of introducing legislation this session which will place the School Board electorate on a more satisfctory footing.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF the TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.I am afraid I can add nothing to the 843 various answers I have given on previous occasions to the hon. Gentleman. I cannot hold out any hope at the present time of bringing in any Bill on the subject.
§ MR. WEIRWill the right hon. Gentleman give facilities for a short Bill on the subject which stands in my name?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURIf I could find time at all I should prefer to bring in a Bill myself.
