§ 56. Sir WILLIAM DAVISONasked the Home Secretary whether the Government will consider the introduction of legislation entitling limited companies and corporations owning property, who are now disfranchised, to the same rights of voting at Parliamentary and municipal elections as are now granted to a private individual?
§ Sir J. GILMOURHis Majesty's Government do not propose to introduce legislation on this subject.
§ Sir W. DAVISONDoes the right hon. Gentleman not think it very unfair that corporations and limited companies which provide so large a part of the rates and taxes should have no voice in the expenditure?
