HC Deb 18 April 1935 vol 300 c1991
8. Mr. OSWALD LEWIS

asked the Home Secretary whether he will have the register of electors marked in such a way as to indicate in the case of a woman elector whether she is married or single?

Sir J. GILMOUR

No, Sir. Such a differentiation is not necessary for voting purposes.

Mr. LEWIS

Is my right hon. Friend aware that this system is in force in the Isle of Man and has been for six years, and that it is also in force in the City of Glasgow, and has he considered the great benefit it would confer on this country if the same system were extended?
