HC Deb 18 December 1967 vol 756 c290W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take steps to remove the anomalies in the franchise and restrictions on candidates in local government in the City of London.

Mr. Callaghan:

The franchise for elections of Common Councilmen is the same as that in boroughs generally; so, for all practical purposes, will be the qualifications for candidates when the City of London (Various Powers) Bill 1967, now awaiting Royal Assent, becomes law.
