HC Deb 25 May 1897 vol 49 c1267
SIR HENRY FOWLER (Wolverhampton)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the return of Local Government Electors, ordered 2nd March last, will be presented?

SIR MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY

The returns from five counties and three boroughs are still outstanding, and without these the return cannot be completed. I am doing my best to put pressure on the officers who are in default, and I will lay the return on the Table at the earliest moment it is in my power to do so.
