§ Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has in his possession any information with reference to the systems in vogue and results produced by the referendum in the Dominions and foreign countries?
Mr. A. HENDERSONSo far as foreign countries are concerned, I am sending the hon. Member a copy of House of Commons Paper Miscellaneous, No. 3 of 1911 (Cd. 5522), "Reports from His Majesty's Representatives abroad respecting the Institution known as the Referendum." In addition to the countries mentioned in that paper, Austria, Germany, Latvia, and possibly others make provision in their constitutions for taking a referendum in certain circumstances. So far as the Dominions are concerned, I have no official information. Perhaps the hon. Member will put down a question on this subject to the Dominions office.
