[KS] Park Yong-hyo

[Leonid Petrov]

Dear Tony,

Have a look at the "Japan ruled Korea with a rod of Discipline, not Iron"
web site also known as the "Controversies over the History of Japan-Korea
Relations. Its authors, Miko Sugimoto, Sadao Ogihara and Kazuho Baba, claim
that:

"... in Korea, the suffrage was not allowed to the residents in Korea,
including the Japanese but to those who lived in Japan were allowed to
participate in politics, both Koreans and Japanese alike. In 1932, Pak Yong
Hyo was nominated into the House of Lords, and in 1932 and 1937, Park Shung
Kong was elected twice into the House of Commons from the Tokyo district.
Moreover seven Koreans were nominated into the House of Lords in 1945 and
eighteen seats were given in the House of Commons from Korea in the next
general election - though this never crystallized because the war ended
prior."

and

"In 1945, the election law was amended and seats for eighteen members to be
elected from Korea were allotted, but it never crystallized due to the loss
of World War 2. In 1932, a Korean Senator, Park Yong Hyo was commissioned to
the House of Lords. After then several Korean natives were also commissioned
to that House."
