HC Deb 08 June 1917 vol 94 c568
Mr. DICKINSON

Can the Home Secretary make any statement with regard to what will happen on Clause 4 of the Representation of the People Bill, and whether we shall get to the discussion of women's suffrage on Tuesday?

Sir G. CAVE

If it is convenient both for those who are in favour of women's suffrage and those who axe opposed to it to know whether the Division on the Clause is likely to take place next week, I may say that so far as I can see it is possible, and I hope it may be the fact, that the discussion will commence on Tuesday, and I think I may safely say we shall not take the Division upon that Clause on Tuesday. That being so, it is very unlikely that the Division will be reached next week.

Motion for Adjournment, by leave, withdrawn.
