HC Deb 20 November 1918 vol 110 c3431
Mr. GULLAND (by Private Notice)

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the record officers throughout the country have furnished the registration offices with the addresses of absent voters?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I got notice only a few moments ago Of the right hon. Gentleman's question, but I will endeavour to reply to it to-morrow.

Mr. GULLAND

I am sorry I did not give the right hon. Gentleman longer notice. Is he aware that we were promised that the information would be available within 48 hours of the Proclamation? That notice was given 6 days ago, and I know of several cases where the list is not yet available at the registration offices.

Mr. MACPHERSON

I believe that promise was made, and I cannot explain why it has not been fulfilled, but I will make inquiries.
