HC Deb 15 July 1937 vol 326 c1459
24. Mr. Day

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the distance certain electors have to walk to register their votes in some districts, he will consider revising the electoral law so that in cases where old and infirm electors reside a distance of two miles or more from a polling station conveyances may be provided at State expense in order to enable them to travel to register their votes?

Sir S. Hoare

No, Sir.

Mr. Day

Will the right hon. Gentleman introduce legislation so that a more satisfactory way may be provided of conveying persons to register their votes?

Captain Sir William Brass

Will it not be possible for the hon. Member to use his Rolls Royce car for this purpose?
