HC Deb 12 July 1917 vol 95 c2093
19. Major NEWMAN

asked whether, under the terms of the Representation of the People Bill, members of both Irish police forces will be placed on an equality with members of the police forces of Great Britain with regard to the exercise of the franchise?

Mr. DUKE

The Bill does not, as I am advised, repeal the Acts which preclude constables in Ireland from the exercise of the electoral franchise.
