HC Deb 08 May 1912 vol 38 c396
Mr. RONALD M'NEILL

asked the Prime Minister whether it will be within the power of the Irish Parliament, under the Government of Ireland Bill, to alter the electoral franchise so as to include duly qualified women?

Mr. BIRRELL

There is nothing to prevent the Irish Parliament doing so after three years from the passing of the Act under the powers conferred by Clause 9.
