§ Mr. LOUGHIs my right hon. Friend aware that in some constituencies the registers are not ready—that is the case in my own Constituency?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWNo; I was not aware of the fact—
§ Mr. BONAR LAW—still less that there had been such a bad exception made in the constituency of my right hon. Friend.
