HC Deb 18 July 1905 vol 149 c1083
MR. MACVEAGH

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether his attention has been called to the the fac that, under the Redistribution proposals, South Down will have only one Member for a population of 58,000, whilst three British counties, Buteshire, Rutlandshire, and Sutherlandshire, will have three Members for a similar population; and whether, in view of the fact that the Redistribution proposals are introduced with the object of removing electoral disparities, he proposes to so amend them as to give to South Down a representation proportionate to that proposed to be given to Buteshire, to Rutlandshire, o to Sutherlandshire.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I do not think I can add anything to the Answer I have already given.
