§ SIR J. JARDINE (Roxburghshire)I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland 251 whether he is is aware that every year many voters in the counties of Roxburgh and Berwick have their names removed from the register of voters because they have settled in a neighbouring county to work at a different farm or under a different employer in the ordinary work of their calling; and whether he will consider the propriety of removing the disqualification so arising under the present law in Scotland.
§ MR. SINCLAIRSuch points, which affect the whole country, will no doubt be considered with any general reform of the present franchise and registration law, and they are under the observation of the Government.
