HC Deb 07 March 1929 vol 226 c531
7. Mr. CECIL WILSON

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the largely increased electorate and the consequent necessity for more presiding officers and poll clerks, many of whom have never had previous experience, any special steps are to be taken in instructing them in their duties?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

This is a matter for the returning officers, who, I am sure, can be relied on to take the necessary steps to ensure that the officials are conversant with their duties.
