HC Deb 18 November 1925 vol 188 c383
59. Mr. DALTON

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government have had under consideration any proposal to disfranchise persons in receipt of poor relief; and, if so, whether it is proposed to introduce legislation on the subject?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

I have been asked to reply. This question has not been considered by the Government.

Mr. DALTON

In view of the advocacy of this change by supporters of the party opposite, may we have a definite pledge that there will be no legislation on these lines?
