§ 44. Mr. WILLIAM NICHOLSONasked the President of the Local Government Board if he is aware that a number of men serving with the forces have had their names, in spite of the care exercised by the registration officers, left off the new lists of voters; whether this is particularly the case with men serving in India and 889 the East; and whether he will consider the advisability of instructing registration officers to make supplemental lists of the names of these men in the autumn, which lists shall be attached to and considered part of the new register?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. S. Walsh)My right hon. Friend is not aware that the names of a number of men serving, as stated in the question, have been omitted from the new lists of voters. A claim can be made before the 25th instant on behalf of any man whose name is believed to have been incorrectly omitted.
