§ A man shall be entitled to be registered as a Parliamentary elector for a university constituency if he is of full age and not subject to any legal incapacity, and has received a degree (other than an honorary degree) at any university forming, or forming part of, the constituency, or in the case of the Scottish universities is qualified under Section Twenty-seven of the Representation of the People (Scotland) Act, 1868.
§ Lords Amendment: At the end of Clause insert the words "or in the case of the University of Dublin has either received a degree (other than an honorary degree) at the university or has obtained a scholarship or fellowship in the university, whether before or after the passing of this Act."
Sir G. GAVEI beg to move "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
The House will remember that in the ease of the Scottish universities we have preserved special qualifications that were conferred by the Act of 1868. It was pointed out in another place that the effect of the Bill might be to abolish certain qualifications for voting in the University of Dublin. We do not desire to make a change of that character, and therefore these words are proposed to be inserted.
Question put, and agreed to.
