HC Deb 06 March 1912 vol 35 cc511-2W
Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Prime Minister if, in the event of the House of Commons carrying an Amendment to the proposed Manhood Suffrage Bill in favour of admitting women to the franchise, it is the intention of His Majesty's Government to bring in such legislation as will enable the question of granting the Parliamentary franchise to women being submitted to the present voters by means of the Referendum?

The PRIME MINISTER

The question of the hon. Member is based on an hypothesis. If and when the hypothesis is realised I shall be in a position to answer it.
