HC Deb 07 May 1885 vol 297 c1857
MR. FRANCIS BUXTON

asked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether, considering the necessity for clearness and concise definitions in all matters connected with the Redistribution of Seats and the registration of great numbers of new voters, he will recommend on Consideration of the Redistribution of Seats Bill that no alternative names shall be given to the new divisions of counties, but that every such division shall be known solely and always by one single name?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

I have frequently expressed my dislike for double names; but, looking to the most recent decisions of the House, I doubt if the House would agree to strike out all double names.
