HC Deb 04 May 1950 vol 474 cc1879-80
17. Brigadier Peto

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to be in a position to present his proposed amendments to the regulations concerning electoral registration.

Mr. Ede

Probably in June.

Brigadier Peto

Will the right hon. Gentleman make sure that when such simplification as is to be carried out is carried out there will be adequate publicity, so that everyone will know what they have to do?

Mr. Ede

The regulations will have to be submitted to this House and there will be an opportunity for discussing them, if that is desired. I will endeavour to see that through the B.B.C., and other methods of publicity, adequate knowledge is conveyed to the public.
