§ 32. Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTEasked the Home Secretary whether, in the interests of economy and in view of the fact that the spring register of electors is very rarely used, he will consider altering the law so that one register only shall be required, thereby effecting a saving of nearly £500,000 every year?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSYes, Sir. The Government has considered this suggestion for effecting economies but there is, I fear, no chance of passing the necessary legislation in this Session.
