§ 47. Sir A. WILLIAMSONasked whether the Prime Minister's attention has been called to the provision in force during the recent election in the Commonwealth of Australia whereby absent voters are enabled to record their votes; and whether, considering the number of voters in the United Kingdom habitually absent from home on account of their calling, he will consider the advisability of introducing a similar provision when next the Government is considering a franchise Bill?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI will certainly consider the suggestion made by my hon. Friend, but I see many practical difficulties in the proposal.
