40. Sir J. HARMOOD-BANNER

asked whether it is intended to renew for a further period of twelve months the provisions of the Elections and Registration Act, 1915, c. 76, under which the elections of local authorities and other bodies were postponed and provision made for the filling of casual vacancies?

Mr. LONG
