Mr. DUNCANasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the second Section of the Act of 1847 and the Orders which are issued when a writ for the election of a member to serve in this House is issued apply to a soldier who is on leave in the constituency in which he is a voter and to a soldier who is, for instance, billeted out in his constituency?
§ Mr. MACPHERSON>: I am advised that the Section of the Act referred to does not apply to a soldier who is on leave in the constituency in which he is a voter, but it does apply to a soldier who is billeted in his constituency.
