HC Deb 26 March 1907 vol 171 c1660
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland, in view of the number of persons in Scotland, especially in the Highland crofting counties, who have no votes at school board elections by reason of their rentals being under £4, will he arrange to deal with the school board franchise in the new Scottish Education Bill.

MR. SINCLAIR

As I yesterday informed the hon. Member for Sutherland, it is proposed under the Bill to make the school board franchise the same as that for parish council elections.

MR. MORTON (Sutherland)

Will it be the same franchise as is used in the county council elections?

MR. SINCLAIR

Yes, I think so.
