HC Deb 19 December 1916 vol 88 c1310
84. Major NEWMAN

asked whether, in view of the more uncertain political out look, the Government still intend to delay the setting up of a new or Special Register until the Committee of Members who for some months have been studying various franchise and electoral problems have terminated their labours?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It is not proposed to introduce legislation upon this subject in the present Session.

Mr. PRINGLE

Does the right hon. Gentleman know that since the new Government came into office the outlook is more uncertain?
