HC Deb 28 June 1917 vol 95 cc516-7
34. Mr. HASLAM

asked the Home Secretary whether, in case minors are qualified to become electors under the provisions of the Representation of the People Bill now before Parliament, they will cease to be infants at law in other respects, or whether he proposes to take such steps as may be necessary to prevent the anomaly which would otherwise occur?

Sir G. CAVE

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative, and the second part therefore does not arise.
