§ The Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Younger)I beg to move:
That the Electoral Registration Regulations, 1948, dated 28th April, 1948, a copy of which was presented on 29th April, be approved.Only one very short point is involved here. The purpose of this small Amendment to the existing regulations is to give three more days to the printers in which to prepare the annual register. The regulations achieves this by bringing forward by three days the date on which the lists have to be published, and that gives three more days to the printers in England and Wales only. Only in England and Wales has it been found necessary to make the adjustment, and I do not think anyone loses at the other end of the period.
