HC Deb 08 February 1934 vol 285 c1322W
Mr. SMITHERS

asked the Home Secretary whether he will introduce legislation to make it illegal for the citizens of the Irish Free State resident in this country to vote at Parliamentary and local elections in Great Britain and Northern Ireland?

Sir J. GILMOUR

It is not the policy of His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom to discriminate between different classes of British subjects in the matter of the exercise of the franchise.
