HC Deb 01 February 1918 vol 101 cc2003-4

[For details of Schedule, see Lords Amendments to Representation of the People Bill. [Bill 127], pp. 26–41.]

Sir G. CAVE

There are two or three Amendments I have to move to this Schedule. One is on page 31, dealing with the form of voting paper, after the words "indicated below," to insert a Form with two columns, one column headed "Candidates" and another headed "Order of Preference." Then on page 38 it will he necessary to add to the footnote, after the word "transferable" the words "or alternative," and again on page 40, in the footnote, it will be necessary to make the same Amendment.

Sir P. MAGNUS

I should like to say a few words on this new Fifth Schedule.

Mr. SPEAKER

Does the hon. Member desire to amend the Schedule?

Sir P. MAGNUS

I want to call attention to one paragraph.

Mr. SPEAKER

Do you want to amend it?

Sir P. MAGNUS

Yes.
