HC Deb 24 March 1948 vol 448 c3158
Mr. Younger

I beg to move, in page 4, line 29, at the beginning, to insert: (1) For the registration of electors there shall be electoral registration officers (in this Act referred to as 'registration officers'). The purpose of this Amendment is to make clear that where the phrase "registration officer" is used in this Bill, as it has been used in past statutes, it refers only to electoral registration officers. It is considered necessary to insert these words to avoid confusion with registration officers of other kinds.

Amendment agreed to.

Mr. Younger

I beg to move, in page 5, line 14, to leave out from "Subsection," to "the," in line 15.

This is purely a drafting Amendment. The words which it is proposed to leave out are, I am advised, unnecessary.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
