§ 39. Mr. MACPHERSONasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it is proposed to print all forms in connection with future Parliamentary elections in bulk and to circulate these skeleton forms to returning officers in such numbers as they may require, with space left for the insertion of local matter by clerical labour; and whether he is aware that the view of returning officers is that no economy would be effected by this innovation and that local printers are thus deprived of work for which they are entitled to compete?
Mr. DAVIESI would refer the right hon. Gentleman to the reply which I gave on this subject on the 14th instant to questions by the hon. Members for Weston-super-Mare (Mr. Murrell), Harborough (Mr. Black), and Montrose Burghs (Mr. Sturrock).
