HC Deb 24 June 1898 vol 60 c32
MR. TULLY (Leitrim, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the uncertainty that prevails in Ireland as to the preparation of the lists of voters in registration units under the new Registration (Ireland) Act, he can state if specific instructions have been issued by the authorities to the different clerks of peace and clerks of unions, directing them in making out the supplemental lists to include in these lists the names of all the voters in each registration unit in counties and boroughs, so that at the next Revision Sessions the Revising Barristers may be able to deal with the correctness of the names in these lists.

MR. ATKINSON (for Mr. GERALD BALFOUR)

The supplemental lists, both of £10 rated occupiers and of householders, are to be made out in registration units, and the Local Government supplemental lists of Peers and women are to be similarly dealt with. This is clearly prescribed in the special instructions attached to the Order in Council dated 23rd May, 1898, and no uncertainty should exist in the matter.
