HC Deb 06 March 1918 vol 103 cc1978-9
71. Mr. GILBERT

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether, now that he has fixed 15th April as the first qualifying period for voters under the Representation of the People Act, he can now state what date he has fixed for the publication of the lists of pro posed voters, the last date for objecting to entry on the list of voters, the last date for making claims to be registered as a voter, the date for the publication of objections to names on the list of voters, the date for the publication of claims to be on the list of voters, the last day for objecting to claims to be registered, and what is the date for the publication and issue of the first registers?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Hayes Fisher)

Perhaps I may refer the hon. Member to the Order in Council which has now been laid upon the Table of the House, and which fixes the dates of the various stages in the preparation of the new register.
