HC Deb 23 March 1903 vol 119 cc1465-6
SIR EDWARD STRACHEY

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General whether the qualification for a justice of the peace for a county, for any eldest son of any person qualified to serve as a knight of a shire, by 9 Anne, c. 5, and renewed by 18 Geo. 2, c. 20, s. 1, is still accepted as a qualification notwithstanding the repeal of the statute of Anne by 21 and 2 ic, c. 26.

SIR ROBERT FINLAY

I shall be happy to discuss the question privately with my hon. friend.
