§ 74. Mr. STEPHENasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department ment if he is aware that forms similar to those issued for registration purposes are being delivered in Dorset and other districts with the heading For the Parliamentary Vote, in which each person is asked to state his or her politics; and, seeing that such forms are calculated to mislead the electors as to the source of their issue, as being delivered about the same time as the official forms, will he consider the introduction of legislation to make such a practice illegal?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir William Joynson-Hicks)I have no information on the subject but if the hon. Member will supply further particulars as to the nature of the form, or supply me with a copy, I will consider the matter.
§ Mr. E. BROWNIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that similar forms are being sent out in certain divisions, addressed to "Miss Twenty-one"?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI should like to see one of those forms.
