§ Mr. HENRY TERRELLasked the Secretary for the Colonies whether the Governments of any and, if so, which of the self-governing Dominions have introduced measures into the Colonial Legislature extending the Colonial Parliamentary franchise to all men who during the present War have served or shall serve in the Colonial naval or military forces?
Mr. HARCOURTA New Zealand Act provides that every member of any Expeditionary Force sent from New Zealand to serve in the present War shall be entitled to vote at the next General Election. A Canadian Act provides that every male British subject of twenty-one years of age and upwards serving in the military forces of Canada in the present War who within six months before enlistment had been resident in an electoral district in Canada for thirty days shall be entitled to vote. A Queensland Act has been passed to enable a voter serving with the Forces abroad to nominate a person to exercise his right of voting on his behalf.
