HC Deb 25 July 1912 vol 41 c1375W
Mr. GEORGE GREENWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in what countries having Parliamentary institutions the age for the vote is higher than twenty-one years; and if he will give the actual age required in each of such cases?

Sir EDWARD GREY

In Austria and Sweden the age is twenty-four; in Belgium, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and Turkey it is twenty-five; and in Denmark it is thirty years. In Italy the franchise is restricted between the ages of twenty-one and thirty, but every male over thirty has a vote.
