§ MR. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S. W.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether it is proposed to take stops to accelerate the registration of Parliamentary voters this year, so that, in the event of a Dissolution in the late autumn, the General Election may be taken on a new register.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe hon. Gentleman has apparently access to information about the Dissolution which is not at my disposal. But whatever date the Dissolution may be fixed for, I do not think that any alteration in the registration of voters ought to be preliminary to it.
