HC Deb 25 March 1907 vol 171 c1517
MR. MORTON

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether the Education (Scotland) Bill will extend the franchise to occupiers of holdings of a less rental value than £4 per annum, and give to all persons entitled to vote at council elections in Scotland a vote at school board elections.

MR. SINCLAIR

Under the Bill it is proposed to make the school board franchise the same as that for parish council elections.

MR. MITCHELL-THOMSON

Will the right hon. Gentleman endeavour to arrange that the text of this Bill and also that of the Small Landowners Bill shall be available for use during the Easter recess?

MR. SINCLAIR

Every effort shall be made with that object.
