§ 47. Major CRAWFURDasked the Prime Minister whether the forthcoming conference on franchise reform will consider the method of voting at elections as well as the persons who are to vote?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir William Joynson-Hicks)I have been asked to reply. I can only repeat what I said on Wednesday last, namely, that I am unable to make any further statement as to the scope of the conference.
§ Major CRAWFURDWhereas on Wednesday of last week I was asked by the right hon. Gentleman's colleague to repeat the question this week, may I now repeat the supplementary question which I then put—if and when may I expect an answer to this very simple question?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThat is rather hypothetical. The hon. and gallant Member can expect an answer when we have made up our minds.
