HC Deb 17 October 1916 vol 86 c420W
Sir R. COOPER

asked the President of the Local Government Board (1) whether it will be open to the Committee on Franchise and Registration to recommend that so-called conscientious objectors should not be placed upon the register of voters whilst soldiers at the front are unable to vote; and (2) whether the Committee on Franchise and Registration, over which Mr. Speaker is to preside, will have power to consider and report upon the over-representation of Ireland in Parliament?

Mr. LONG

I would prefer to leave it to the conference to determine the limits within which their recommendations should range.
