HC Deb 10 May 1916 vol 82 c673
45. Sir FORTESCUE FLANNERY

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the by-elections recently held, and in prospect and the possibility of a near General Election, the Government will introduce a Registration Bill to enable electors serving with the Colours to record their votes without personal attendance at the polls?

51. Mr. R. McNEILL

asked, in view of the fact that the legal term of the present Parliament will expire within six months, whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce a Registration Bill before Whitsuntide?

The PRIME MINISTER

I must refer the hon. Baronet to the answer which I gave yesterday to the hon. Member for North Somerset, to which I can add nothing, except to repeat that the matter is engaging the close attention of the Government.
