§ MR. BONSOR (Surrey, Wimbledon)I beg to ask the Attorney General whether his attention has been called to the inconvenience arising from the uncertainty of the law as to whether a County Council has power to appoint a polling place for an Electoral Division outside the limits of that Division; and if he will state whether the County Council have any such power?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir R. WEBSTER, Isle of Wight)There is, in my opinion, no uncertainty in the law. A polling place must be situated within the boundaries of the Division.
§ MR. BONSORMay I ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he will consider the advisability of introducing a short Bill to remedy this inconvenience?
§ MR. RITCHIEI think it would be extremely hazardous for the Government to undertake to amend the Local Government Act this Session.
