§ 24. Colonel J. R. H. Hutchisonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will take immediate steps to arrange for the publication of the registra-tration of voters in the divisions of Ruther-glen, North Lanark and Lanark
§ Mr. WestwoodI regret that work on the printing of the registers for the Parliamentary county of Lanark was delayed in consequence of the recent dispute in the printing trade. The burgh sections of the registers were published on 15th October. As regards the remainder, I am informed that delivery to the electoral registration officer will be completed by 27th November and that copies will be published in the usual places on the following day.
§ Colonel HutchisonWill the Secretary of State assure himself that when these lists are made available there will be no curtailment of time within which objections, alterations, and examinations can take place?
§ Mr. WestwoodI will do my best to meet the point raised by the hon. and gallant Gentleman.
