HC Deb 10 June 1918 vol 106 cc1874-5
54. Mr. WHITEHOUSE

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government has asked the Law Officers of the Crown for a Report showing the present position of women with respect to their election to this House, with a view to removing the present uncertainty?

Mr. BONAR LAW

This matter is engaging consideration.

Mr. WHITEHOUSE

Will the right hon. Gentleman state when he hopes to be in a position to make a statement?

Mr. BONAR LAW

As soon as possible. It is mainly, I think, a question of law that is being examined into.
