HC Deb 14 November 1944 vol 404 c1767
2. Mr. Hugh Lawson

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs if he has any information as to the methods to be used by the Saskatchewan Government in the election by their troops in this country of one of their number to the Provincial Parliament.

Mr. Emrys-Evans

I am informed that provision has been made, in a Saskatchewan Act of 1944, for the election to the Legislative Assembly of that Province of three members of the Canadian Armed Forces who were domiciled in Saskatchewan for 12 months before becoming members of such Forces. One member is to be elected by the Canadian Forces serving in Canada (excluding the Province of Saskatchewan), and in Newfoundland; one member by the Forces serving in countries bordering on the Mediterranean Sea, other than France; and one member by the Forces serving in Great Britain, Iceland, France, Belgium, Holland, and a few other countries. A returning officer has been appointed for each of the three areas. A copy of the Act and the Regulation made under it will be placed in the Library.

Mr. Neil Maclean

Would the hon. Gentleman be good enough to see that when any reference is being made to the United Kingdom it is not only England that is mentioned?
