§ THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (MR. GRANT LAWSON, Yorkshire, N.R., Thirsk)I wish to ask the leave of the House to introduce a very short Bill to remove certain inequalities with respect to districts for registration purposes, and the appointment of superintendent registrars of births and deaths in certain unions. The Government are of opinion, and I think the House will also be of opinion, that the time has now arrived for reconsidering the temporary arrangement established many years ago with regard to superintendent registrars. I think it is a Bill which will provoke no opposition in any part of the House.
Bill to amend the Law with respect to districts for registration purposes, and the appointment of Superintendent Registrars of Births and Deaths in certain unions, ordered to be brought in by Mr. Grant Lawson and Mr. Walter Long.
