§ MR. EDWARD STRACHEY (Somerset, S.)had the next Amendment on the Paper, which was to add at the end of the Address the words:—
But we humbly express our regret that no measure is announced by Your Majesty for a simplification of the registration laws for Parliamentary and Local Government elections, so that duly qualified persons may be placed upon the electoral register without the present unnecessary complications and delay.
§ MR. SPEAKERruled that this Amendment was out of order, inasmuch as it anticipated a Bill of which notice had been given dealing with the same subject.
