§ MR. JASPER MORE (Shropshire, Ludlow)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to introduce a Bill for the purpose of appointing registrars of voters for Parliamentary elections, in redemption of the assurances given by the First Lord of the Treasury that the Law with respect to the registration of voters would be dealt with in the present Parliament; and, if so, whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to endeavour to pass a Bill for the purpose of appointing such registrars of Parliamentary voters in time to enable their attention to be applied to the registration of voters qualified to be placed on the register for the present year, and prior to another General Election?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. STANSFELD) (Halifax)(who replied) said: The Government have now under consideration a measure with reference to the law as to registration of voters, which they hope shortly to introduce. But I have no expectation that it will be possible to pass such a measure in time to affect the arrangements for the registration of voters for the present year.
