§ 56. Mr. KINGasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that, unless legislation is passed within a few weeks, many soldiers at the front and others will fail to be on the Parliamentary voting lists for 1916, as they would have been had not patriotic service or other circumstances intervened; and whether, immediately after the Whitsuntide Recess, he will introduce legislation to prevent the wholesale disenfranchisement which will otherwise occur?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI must refer my hon. Friend to the answer given yesterday on this subject by the President of the Local Government Board.
§ Mr. KINGCan we have some answer to this question, which has been put several times, as soon as the House resumes after the Recess?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI hope it will be possible to make a statement soon.
§ Mr. SANDERSONWill the right hon. Gentleman remember that some of these claims have to be put in before 25th July?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEWe are bearing that in mind.
