HC Deb 09 April 1919 vol 114 cc2037-8
88. Mr. MACMASTER

asked the President of the Local Government Board by how many, approximately, would the votes of electors in the United Kingdom be increased if the votes of women between twenty-one and thirty years of age with the same voting qualification as men were added to the registers?

Major ASTOR

I am afraid I cannot give any very reliable figures, but the estimated number is over five millions. I will circulate a memorandum showing how this estimate is arrived at.
