MR. H. C. RICHARDS

To ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he would lay upon the Table of the House any information he may have received from the self-governing Colonies on the position of limited trading companies as to Parliamentary and municipal representation, with a view to showing whether such companies are entitled to vote by their directors or officers, and, if so, on what franchise; and as to the difference between municipal and Parliamentary representation; and if the lists of voters are prepared by a public or private authority; and whether revision courts are held, and by whom, for the consideration of claims to the Parliamentary and municipal electoral list.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Chamberlain.) I will give the information that I have received from the Colonies on this subject in reply to the questions suggested by the hon. Member.
