HC Deb 08 July 1910 vol 18 c2016W
Mr. ROBERT HARCOURT

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he can state the estimated number of males over twenty-one and females over twenty-one in the United Kingdom; and also the number of male electors on the Parliamentary and municipal register, and of female electors?

Mr. BURNS

According to the Census of 1901, the numbers of males and females over twenty-one were 10,919,787 and 12,135,005 respectively. Very roughly, the increase since 1901 may be about per cent., but it is unsafe to estimate so long after a Census. The number of Parliamentary electors on the register for the year 1910 was 7,705,717. No figures are available to show the numbers of municipal electors.
