§ 2. Mr. THURTLEasked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the decision of the Government to increase the number of women electors, he will take whatever steps are necessary in order to authorise registration officers to incur the additional expense involved in printing the prefix Miss before the names of single women voters, and thus reduce the possibility of unfortunate mistakes in communications addressed to women electors?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI am not aware of any untoward results arising from the present practice and I am not prepared to recommend the expenditure of public money in making a change which is not required for electoral purposes.
