HC Deb 17 March 1970 vol 798 c106W
Captain Orr

asked the Attorney-General if he will introduce legislation to consolidate the Representation of the People Acts.

The Attorney-General

The Representation of the People Act 1969 makes provision for the incorporation of material amendments to the Representation of the People Act 1949 on publication of a revised edition of the Statutes. In the circumstances, therefore, consolidation is not being given a high degree of priority.
