§ MR. HOWARD VINCENTI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if, having regard to the calculation that upwards of £300,000 is anually spent by Political Parties in registration matters, whereas in other countries the registration of persons having the public right 536 to vote for representation in Imperial or Municipal Government is a matter of public concern, Her Majesty's Government will consider whether it will be possible to deal with the matter before the next General Election?
§ MR. W. H. SMITHThe Government are not at present prepared to deal with this question.
